WP 1 - FIRST BLOOD:
Operation HUSKY, the Allied Invasion
of Sicily, had the Canadian invasion forces landing on the Sicilian
shores in a wide, curving bay known as Costa dell'Ambra, Code-named
"Bark West". Bark West was divided into two sandy beaches, "Roger"
on the right and "Sugar" on the left. The Hasting and Prince Edward
Regiment and the Royal Canadian Regiment of the First Brigade were
assigned to Roger Beach, while Sugar was given to the Second Brigade's
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry and Seaforth Highlanders.
Three miles inland lay the main Canadian objective, the Pachino
airfield, near the town of the same name.
WP 2 - THE ATTACK ON THE PARTISAN HQ:
Partisan attacks on moving trains and extensive demolition of tracks,
bridges, and tunnels at times almost halted traffic on the railway
routes Warsaw-Gomel-Bryansk and Minsk-Borisov-Smolensk. German
anti-partisan operations had developed a definite pattern. As soon as
the location of a partisan force became known it would be attacked
simultaneously from several sides. Dawn was the preferred time for such
raids. However, these tactics were successful only if the partisans did
not learn beforehand of the Germans' intentions.
WP 3 - OFF TO THE CROSSROADS:
In an attempt to gain a port to speed the Commonwealth Forces assault on
Rome, the First Canadian Division was assigned to capture the ancient
Adriatic port city of Ortona. To gain the approaches to the city the
Royal 22nd Regiment was assigned to capture the hamlet of Casa Barardi
and the crossroads on the Ortona-Orsogna road beyond. To carry out this
task the Royal 22nd’s C Company under the command of Captain Paul
Triquet and C Squadron of the Ontario Regiment with seven Shermans under
command of Major H.A. "Snuffy" Smith.
WP 4 - STRIPPED AND READY FOR WAR:
On 7 September French units advanced out of the Sarre Gap between the
Region Fortifee of Metz and La Lauter of the Maginot Line,
moving towards the German industrial centre at Saarbrücken. The French
units lumbered forward into one of the most heavily defended sectors of
the still incomplete Siegfried Line.
WP 5 - THE LAST ASSAULT: On 21 April, the spearheads of
the 1st Ukraine Front and the 1st White Russian Fronts met near
Künigswusterhausen, encircling the three Army Corps of General de
Infanterie Busses’s German Ninth Army in the
Frankfurt-Fürstenwalde-Königswunsterhausen area. The Ninth Army was now
being attacked on three sides. On the morning of 23 April, Hitler had
given authorization to pull back the Oder Front. The surrounded Ninth
Army formed up for the breakout.
WP 6 - ILS NE PASSERONT PAS: The Canadian 3rd Brigade
committed their reserves, the Royal 22nd Regiment to a hard blow across
the "Gully" immediately south of Casa Berardi. In an attempt to pinch
out the position in front of the crossroads by driving up from the
south. At 0730 hours, the Vandoos started out for Casa Berardi
under heavy shellfire crossing the "Gully", at a point deemed to be its
least formidable point. C Company under Captain Paul Triquet which
fought its way over the "Gully" doing terrible damage to enemy tanks
with the company’s PIATs, was to perform a left flanking movement which
was would enable the remainder of the Battalion to attack Casa Berardi
from in front.
WP 7 - STRUGGLE OUT OF THE SCHEIDISWALD: Without pause,
the second and third phase of this second battle of Lake Ladoga began.
The two old corner-posts of the German defence continued to play their
former part. The strongpoint of Gorodok with its hospital and power
station on the Neva, at the other end, the fortified positions known as
the "Wrengler Barrier". Time and again throughout the Soviet tank
attacks, the guns of the I./Artillerie Regiment 240 relieved
the grenadiers and engineers by timely defensive fire or concentrated
bombardment of the focal points of the attack.
WP 8 - "THAT SAMN BRIDGE!": Lieutentant-General George
S. Patton drove his VII Corps down and through the narrow corridor
between the German flanking position and the Atlantic Coast. The US 4th
Armored Division reached Avranches in the evening of 30 July. On the
following day it took Pontaubault and established a bridgehead over the
Selune River. Patton had burst open the door for the breakout into
unconfined expanses of France. That is if he could keep the door open.
Patton's VII Corps depended on one road over one bridge, for only one
single road with one single bridge led from Avranches over the Selune
into Brittany.
WP 9 - THE LAST CHARGE!: Late in the afternoon, three
British officers were riding along a jungle track towards Toungoo, 250
km from Rangoon, with 100 soldiers of the Burmese Frontier Forces
(F.F.2). They had been on the move for weeks, making their way from the
distant Chinese frontier. The riders and their small but sturdy Burmese
horses were at the limit of their endurance. The 2nd Frontier Forces
column was attached to the Chinese formation under General Stilwell, and
given reconnaissance duties.
WP 10 - RED MARINES OF OZEREYKA BAY:
A Russian Seaborne Invasion landed
and moving inland. Soviet tanks reached Glebovka overrunning a Romanian
Mortar battalion, held up in an old vineyard in the process. The
recapture of these mortars was given to Captain Dabiji Nicolai and his
Romanian 5th Company who immediately launched an assault on
the manor.
