Product Information

The 6th Canadian Armoured Regiment "1st Hussars" and The Queen's Own "Rifles of Canada" head to Juno Beach. The first wave suffered 50% casualties, the second highest of the five D-Day beachheads, June 6, 1944.

The use of armour was successful at Juno, in some instances actually landing ahead of the infantry as intended and helping clear a path inland. Despite the obstacles, within hours the Canadians were off the beach and beginning their advance inland.
