OTALIZE
- In preparation for First Canadian Army’s first major operation of the war - indeed in its existence - this was the first and only bottle of beer issued to Trooper George Skinner of C Squadron, Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment. Tank driver Roly Pilon naps beside the Sherman. Another Sherman crew prepares in the deep background.
