This year, June 6th marks the 80th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion by the Allies. The Canadians landed at Juno Beach. Many of our local boys were part of the invasion that day and in the weeks that followed. Four of them died during the intense fighting before the Germans were pushed out of that area, and they are buried with dignity in Normandy.
They were:
Saugeen First Nation
Stafford David Nawash   Landed June 18th,   Died August 10th.
