Memorial to the Regina Rifles, Bretteville, Normandy
The Reginas landed on D-Day opposite one of the most heavily defended German positions along Juno Beach. Using the DD tanks of the 1st Hussars the Canadians got ashore and the 3rd Divison would go on to make the deepest D Day advance of all Allied forces. The plaques are in French and English and the message is Bretteville will not forget
