Normandy Landing Poster - Canadian crew of a Sherman tank
Discover the story behind this artwork
This moving photograph shows a moment of respite for the crew of the tank Sherman V "Clanky", commanded by Major Dave Currie (VC) of the 29th Reconnaissance Regiment (South Alberta Regiment), south of Caen, near May-sur-Orne and Verrières, on July 28, 1944.
From left to right, we can see the soldiers Tp G Holstrom, Cpl J Lardner, and Tp D Mitchell, photographed before their engagement in one of the most significant campaigns of the liberation of France. The Clanky, which symbolized their unit, would be destroyed a few months later, on October 28, 1944, in Bergen op Zoom, victim of a Canadian shell that fell short. Fortunately, the crew members, along with Major Currie, survived this tragic event.
'This image left a lasting impression and was featured on the cover of the magazine Liberty on December 16, 1944, showcasing the heroism and sacrifices of Canadian forces during the Second World War.'
