Cet homme ordinaire a accompli des choses extraordinaires, mais la plupart des Canadiens ne savent pas son nom. Le 6 juin 1944, il débarque sur la plage lors ...de l’invasion de la Normandie. Le même jour, il capture un véhicule allemand blindé. Il refuse d’être évacué lorsqu’il se blesse à l’œil gauche au combat. Durant la bataille de l’Escaut, il fait prisonniers 93 Allemands après qu’une garnison entière se soit rendue à lui. Il refuse à nouveau d’être évacué lorsqu’une mine explose et lui brise le dos. En une nuit, il parvient seul à libérer la ville hollandaise de Zwolle en forçant l’ennemi à battre en retraite. Il se porte volontaire pour servir durant la guerre de Corée en 1950. Sous son commandement, ses hommes capturent et défendent la colline 355 pendant trois jours malgré leur grand désavantage numérique. Il est l’un des trois seuls Canadiens à se voir décerner la Médaille de conduite distinguée dans deux conflits distincts. Certains l’appellent le Rambo canadien . Cet homme, c’est le caporal Léo Major.

Japan surrendered 75 years ago today, ending WW2

During the heavy fighting of the Second Battle of Arras, Canadians suffered significant losses but broke the Drocourt-Quéant Line on 2 September 1918 and forced... an enemy withdrawal behind the Hindenburg Line. No fewer than seven Victoria Crosses were awarded to Canadians on this day 102 years ago. Today in France, a wreath was laid at the foot of the Canadian Memorial in Dury that commemorates this important victory on the road to the peace. #CanadaRemembers http://ow.ly/6Vi250BgcYv See more

27-28 August 1918-Soldiers of the 22nd Battalion suffered heavy losses in the fighting near Chérisy,France during the First World War. http://ow.ly/U6lA50B8LIz ... The 22nd Battalion was Canada’s only French speaking regiment to serve on the front lines during the First World War. It saw heavy action throughout the conflict, fighting in famous battles at places like the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70 and Passchendaele. Its bloodiest day of the entire war came during the final months of the conflict when they were sent into action at Chérisy. Of the some 675 officers and men who took part in the attack in late August 1918, 105 would be killed and 200 wounded. Pictured is the war painting Over the Top, Neuville-Vitasse by Alfred Bastien, depicting the 22nd Battalion in action near Chérisy.

#CanadaRemembers 15-25 August 1917-Canada took part in the bitter Battle of Hill 70 in northern France during the First World War. http://ow.ly/bnys50AZOZP That... summer, the Canadian Corps captured the strategically located Hill 70 and then proceeded to secure the western portion of the nearby town of Lens. A lot of ground was gained and the Germans suffered many causalities, but it came at a high price with the Canadian Corps seeing some 9,200 men killed, wounded or taken prisoner in the fighting there.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Major Colin Brown. Enlisting at 17 and eager to get into the action, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlander was one of 600 Canadians rushed into action as a loan to the British Army’s Argyll’s 15th Scottish Division. He recalled in an interview how while defending a bridgehead they made creative use of some Bofors guns to stop an enemy counterattack- you can listen to it on the @memory_project website. He was a career military man, finally retiring in 1974 to work for Environment Canada. Godspeed Sir. #canadiansoldier #canadianarmedforces #canadianmilitary #canadianhistory #canadianmilitaryhistory #canadianarmy #canadaatwar #canadaww2 #canadaremembers #canadianhero #proudcanadian #canadaproud #argyllandsutherlandhighlanders #hamiltonontario #lestweforget
