82 years ago today, my great-uncle Sergeant (then Rifleman) Arthur Richardson of B Company of the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada had survived the initial assault on JUNO BEACH. The troops of A and B Companies, initially embarked on the S.S. Monoway, boarded LCAs for the assault. Image B Company, less one platoon that accidentally found a piece of undefended beach due to a jammed LCA rudder, was disembarked in front of an intact and still-operating concrete resistance nest at Bernières-sur-Mer at 0812.
