The basis of the decision to
discontinue service in our part
of the country was that the rail-
ways were losing money on the
- service, which was true. In
addition, an alternative service
existed, and was provided by the
bus lines.
'However, this alternative..
service has been cut back quite
severely, and many people now
feel that the area is alrnoSt tot-
ally isolated as far as public

"-ID" Day was jilaimptIt.feirpniik .6th; 1944 but
to the bad weather and ,Sitirtiny conditions of
'the English Channel it was ›iosipPned for 24 hours.
• The next day, June 6th, the weather had not improved"
but the Supreme Allied ComMander, General Dwight
Eisenhower, after a conference with his-advisors said,
'1O.K. We'll Go." There were 5,300 ships and
landing craft needed to put the invasion force ashore,
12,000 planes assigned to cover-the assault, 150,000
men and 1,500 tanks to be landed in the first 48 hours.
Thirty thouand Canadians were to take part in
the assault on Western Europe. General Sir Bernard
Montgomery was in command of the invasion force,
and to a Canadian General he said of the Canadians,
"You would. not see such a body of men in any other-
Army in the world."
Lt. Gen. Crerar was now Commander. of the 1st
Canadian Army and would have under his command
after -a foothold in Normandy had been established,
three, Canadian Divisions - the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and the 2nd
Armoured Brigade took part in the' main assault and
the 2nd and 4th Divisions were in reserve. The 1st
and 5th Canadian Divisions, were still fighting in
Italy. ' The news of the Normandy landings was a
real Morale booster as the advances had been stow,
the equipment half worn out and ail units under
strength as reinforcements were not forthcoming and
casualties had been high. It was not very. long before
the enemy opposition slackened and it was assumed
that they had withdrawn some of their Divisions to be
transferred to the Western Front. Canadians suffered
1,024 casualties on the 6th of June - in this their
first day of fighting in Western,Europe.

Mr. Bernier said his proposed
