Transcription
And eventually all moved to, at least the battalion, moved over seas, I think about September, October, and those of us that were sort of hangers on, or at least not, we had just finished (inaudible) we stayed with the brigade and we were in Toronto in the exhibition buildings and in Toronto for a month. And then we got a boat over to England in November. And we were in England, and then of course when we finally got to England where we were there for three and a half years before we joined the group went over to D-day. We'd had a chance then to increase our training. Hitler hadn't followed up on his air plane situation and so we gained a lot of confidence in our ability to do the job we were supposed to do.
