North Shore Regiment land at Bernieres-sur-Mer |
| Charlie Martin, Company Sergeant-Major,
'A' Company, Queens Own Rifles, described the landing in his book Battle Diary:
"The moment the ramp came down, heavy machine-gun fire
broke out from somewhere back of the seawall. Mortars were dropping
all over the beach. The men rose, starboard line turning right,
port turning left. I said to Jack, across from me, and to everyone:
"Move! Fast! Don't stop for anything. Go! Go! Go!"
We raced down the ramp, Jack and I side by side, the men closely
following. |
