1 The Queens Own Rifles of Canada landed at Bernières

Toronto's Queen's Own Rifles (QOR) landed at 'Nan White' beach near Bernières at 8:05. The enemy fortifications on the 'Nan White' sector had been barely dented by the preliminary bombardment. The DD tanks were supposed to 'swim' in ahead of the infantry to diminish German resistance but were forced by high waves to land after them. When the QOR regiment stormed the beaches, they received the worst battering of any Canadian unit on D-Day.
