C'est rare que l'on voit des photos de soldats canadien, et du 22e en plus. Merci.

Great gallery Mike and a nice tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives at Normandy. I am Ex British Airborne and was the CSM at the Joint Services Parachute Centre Netheravon, England where the British Ex Paras trained to jump back into Arnhem for the 50th Anniversary. It was a wonderful experience meeting and being involved with them, one that will never forget. Cheers Dougie

Hi Mike

Being a veteran of the WW 2 I appreciate your photos and it is great that there is still some respect for those guys who actually fought for our country....the best in the world!
I would be interested to know....were these taken on the 10D? I am the proud owner of one for all of 2 weeks and still am in the learning curve having owned an Olympus E-20 before.
