Canadians at St Lambert-sur-Dives.

Canadian infantryman picks his way past a wrecked Sherman of the South Alberta Regiment during the fierce fighting at St Lambert-sur-Dives, Calvados, Normandy, August 1944.  As St Lambert was a strategic position holding open one of the "jaws" of the Falaise Pocket, the Germans fought fiercely to hold this small village.  The battle started in earnest on 18 August; by 21 August, the Canadians had cleared the village.  Best regards, JR.
