Brigade: The Fifth Canadian Infantry Brigade in World War II

The 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade, comprising the Calgary Highlanders, the Black Watch, and the Rgiment de Maisonneuve, played a crucial role in World War II after landing in France in July 1944. They faced intense combat during the brutal battles of Normandy, including Caen and Verrières Ridge. Their valor continued in Belgium amidst harsh conditions and strong opposition near Antwerp, culminating in fierce urban warfare in Holland as the war drew to a close.
