Notes

A regimental history of the South Saskatchewan Regiment, written by G. B. “Buck” Buchanan, who served with the unit from its mobilization in 1939 through the Second World War. Following a brief account of the regiment’s formation and inter-war activities, the book traces its wartime service from training in Canada and England and preparations for the Dieppe Raid through the fighting in Normandy, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Later chapters cover occupation duties, the regiment’s return to Canada and dispersal, and a 1949 return to Dieppe. Includes an Honour Roll.
