Battle
This photo was supplied by Fort Garry Horse Museum and Archives. It was taken after the Allied bombing mistakenly dropped on own troops on Aug. 8, 1944, the day my uncle was killed along with 124 Canadians and Poles. The bombing happened in the open south of Caen, near the modern village of Ifs.
