A contingent of the Royal Regina Rifles is in Normandy to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
In a series of pictures posted to the regiment’s Facebook page, the Rifles were in Bretteville on Tuesday before visiting the war cemetery in Beny-Sur-Mer on Wednesday. More than 150 Rifles are buried in the cemetery.
On Wednesday, the Rifles walked along Juno Beach — where members of the Regina Rifle Regiment landed on June 6, 1944 — and walked through the same streets of Courseulles-sur-Mer that their predecessors walked 75 years earlier.
