This Week in WW2 - 27 August 1944 - France

On the 27th August 1944 the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry (RHLI) hooks up with elements of the US Army in Elbeuf, on the River Seine, in France.

In this photo, two Canadians of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry meet soldiers of the U.S. Army's 2nd Armoured Division, in Elbeuf, France, 27 August 1944.

(Above L-R): Corporal J.E. Juras, Private W.R. Burns (RHLI), Captain A.A. Smith, Lieutenant Clair Jones, Sergeant K.C. Lingen (RHLI), First Sergeant L.R. Huntingdon. (Canadian Film & Photo Unit photographer: Lt. Ken Bell)

Both Canadians in the photo would be dead before the war's end.

Sergeant Ken Lingen would be killed on 17 October 1944 by a sniper near his D Company HQ in Belgium. He was a Company Sergeant Major (CSM) by then. Private William Burns would be killed on 9 March 1945 in the last days of the bloody Rhineland offensive to capture the German Rhineland.
