Canadian Attack at Lambert-sur-Dive
Currie leads epic Canadian attack at Lambert-sur-Dive - Rarely are there photographs of any part of an action leading to the award of the Victoria Cross. As the German officer brings his men into surrender – just one batch amongst many taken during the three day battle – Major Currie stands to the left with his pistol in hand.
