- Juno beach had the second highest casualty rate after Omaha beach. Some elements went out on a spur to near their objective.
From a four mile landing front they carved out a ten mile wide front 6 miles inland.

My old Headmaster Landed here ? He was a British Royal Engineer attached to the Canadians shortly after D Day he arranged a football match between the Locals and the Sappers I believe the locals won he was called Col Alex Johnson MBE died about two years ago
Thanks for that information.
You probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I love any tips you can give me
@Ty Finnegan Instablaster :)
@Van Hamza I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Van Hamza it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
It is a shame that most young Canadians know nothing about Juno Beach. The freedoms that we take for granted yoday, was paid for in blood.
Thank you for an excellent account of the events. 🇨🇦💪🙏
This should be on tv. I've been all around this area and really known the details of what actually happened. Great channel
Fabulous story. Only comment, Lt "Red" McCormick was a 1st Hussar, not a Garry. When I was a young officer in the 1st Hussars, I met Mr McCormick at a Regimental Birthday. He told me the story of the penetration. He only added that they had recovered some Calvados during that wild ride. He was a wonderful guy.
Yes you’re right. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for pointing out that error. And thanks for the story.
We were at Juno Beach in 2017. At the Juno Beach pavilion we watched the presented movie' Walking Juno'. You couldn't help but tear up at the ending. A family of the present day shown walking on Juno Beach with ghost like effigy's of Canadian soldiers to the rear walking with them as to protect. Colin, your attention to detail of your videos is quite astonishing. Thank You.
That film is well made. Very moving.
As I recall that film uses the line ‘as we walk the beach, they walk with us’, a phrase I’ve never forgotten and sums it up perfectly for me.
I was attached to the Canadian Regina Rifle Regiment a bit to the West of all this. We were in Bretteville l’Orguelleuse on D+1 which is not that far from the Abbey d’Ardennes yet I’ve no recollection of hearing that prisoners were being murdered . It only emerged later. I suspect that many Hitler Youth paid the price though.
Bretteville l'Orgeuilleuse will be in another video about the Canadians.
Well done Calvin thank you for a great presentation. I just have to say this, it is truly amazing to me how many people's comments I read and hear about saying their relative was always in the first wave lol.
If I took all of them seriously, there would have never been any wave of men after the first if you you actually believe all those claims lol. It is truly comical to hear.
Any way to me every man and woman who served in that time were heroes in one manner or another and all did a small part in a big picture, some more than others.
My Grandfather wasn't a hero as he tells it, he was just a signalman who served in the Med and then came from Sicily and Italy battles and was sent back to the UK to prepare for the landings in Normandy and put on loan to the Cdn 5th Brigade and was bumped around a bit ie Hussars 8th in Holland etc due to his signal trade and experience and the fact he was from Montreal as well.
Keep up the awesome work Sir!
If men weren’t in the very first wave, I don’t suppose they know what time they went in, but went when told. If they say to their family that they went in on D-day, that gets translated to first wave.
Excellent video on the brave Canadian assault! One small correction: in the Canadian forces, the correct pronunciation of the rank lieutenant is “lef-tenant” and not “loo-tenant” (that is how Americans say it).
You’re right. I’m so used to taking Americans around that I get into that habit. I usually make a point pf writing Left tenant in my script to remind me. And the French say it differently again, being a French wood. Lieu tenant. Holding the position.
Great tour Colin, Cheers.
Great tour, thank you.
Will await with interest. Please ensure that the lady in the house taken over by the battalion hq gets well deserved mention.
Sorry,I meant to say battalion HQ in Bretteville l’Orguelleuse
Very well done, thank you for the video.
My wife’s grandfather was at Juno. He would never reveal what happened that day, too many bad memories.
For some, it was the days after that were worse. On the 7th the North shore regiment came up against the 12th SS and on the 8th the Regina rifles.
Hope you learned something from the video. If you tap on subscribe, you’ll be notified when I do the vidéo on the days after d-day for the Canadians.
My Grandfather landed with the first wave of the North Shore Regiment (New Brunswick, Canada) at Juno Beach on D-Day. He said it was the worst day of his life. He fought with the NSR until the end of the war. Other than that, he would not talk about the war.
Thanks for the feedback
Bravo Colin !
Red McCormick was a First Hussars
you're right. Don't know wher I got Fort gary horse from.
LIKE 👍👍👍👍
Leo Gariepy landed there on D-Day and later returned to live there and was eventually I believe, elected as Mayor of Courselles sur Mer.
Juno Beach actually had the most casualties when properly assessed using percentage thereof. Just fyi. 🙂
How do you work that out?
@@WalkingDday Hey there, thank you for asking. I am not being confrontational whatsoever just FYI. I sincerely appreciate everything you have produced. A percentage is obviously determined by a proportion in relation to a whole. Omaha Beach had a more solders assigned to it than Juno Beach and Omaha saw slightly more casualties in numbers, but not in relation to the amount of deployed soldiers. Juno Beach was the "deadliest" beach on D Day. 🙂
Please do Arnhem
No mention of 48 commando at Juno.
You’re right. I’ll do a video on the commandos of Sword and Juno.
How do we find the Canada House?
It’s at Bernieres sur mer, just East of Courseulles. There’s the tourist office and a restaurant, Le Grannona, and a car park. It’s just there on the sea front.
