#MLU70 #WW2 - 19 August 1944 #NORMANDY - Battle of the FALAISE GAP More on Major Currie’s tanks, and the CFPU team in St. Lambert-sur-Dives: Deeper into the village goes B Company infantry of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Hamilton ON) in a bitterly fought battle which would continue for the next two days. They are advancing to the far edge of St. Lambert, south-east on the D13, in the direction of Moissy and Chambois where the 1st Polish Armoured Division of Cdn 2nd Corps is taking a major beating against a desperate German 7th Army trying to break the stranglehold of the Falaise Pocket. The Sherman M4, from the Major Currie’s C Squadron, South Albert Regiment, is protecting itself between buildings. The German Panzer Mk IV on the right, under the electrical pole, is not so lucky. Evidently, as it brewed up, the internal explosion of ammunition blew the turret right off the chassis. See the Jack Stollery film footage of this Lt. Don Grant still on Cdn Army Newsreel #40 on YouTube at 3:07: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XQjAi8fNrs&t=3m07s See the Current Google Map view: http://bit.ly/1kPWaXL (Photo by: Lieut. Donald I.
