Juno Beach Pictures - Canada D-Day

Lt McCormic & Tank Crew, First Hussars One troop of First Hussars tanks commanded by Lt. W.F. McCormick made it all the way to the north edge of Secqueville-en-Bessin on D-Day. The troop had probably got closer to the final objective than any other element of the Allies' seaborne assault forces, but finding themselves isolated without infantry or anti-tank support they retraced their steps and rejoined the regiment.
