Then, 'they went to Caen on the heels of the infantry and set pp shop at St, Germaine in full view of the Jerries who were well hidden on the opposite side of the Qrne River. Jerry did his best 'to annihilate the 19th 'but the Canadian gun- ners came out well ahead in the exchange of 'fire, Chief complaint here , WA ki„,, tIlF1 t n..th e 01111. had the, kitchen truck spotted and regu, larly at meal times, sent over a of enwe inof eeheisti8n8 osfpeeetierivvls. waMeole•evi,Itthainn a hurried dive for cover, Barrages were fired in supper of thp British crossing of the low, er Orne and the Canadian eapturt of Vapeelles. Then 'came Cormel- las! Reading •a press account of activities of 3rd Cdn, Medium Re- giment, the personnel of the 19th nodded in sympathy, for they her sat side by side with the 3rd it that torrid spot! Trun was a field day ,for the re- giment, It was one of the first outfits astiede the "escape gap" and the guns were firing norths south, east and West. 0/pip of- ficers had a difficult time ShOoting targets, They 'were 'too busy tak- ing prisoners. When the pocket -had been clear- ed, the 10th Field went back to Bayeux ,where it lost its American 105's and received in 'their place British 25-pounder self-propelled guns, Then began the long "mo- toring tour" across France and Belgium, ending at Brugge, A rear party headed by Capt. G. A, Pa- terson, Hanover, Ont,, wandered off' the beaten track and "liberat- ed" a number of French villages, where they were overwhelmed by an 'admiring populace. 19th 'Field arrived in time to assist in the taking of Brugge, Eecloo. and Maldegem, and' the subsequent Schelde pocket assanlq Here the regiment had the unique honor of being the first 'Canadian artillery unit to fire from' Dutch soil—"Peter" battery taking up a position near Filepine and firing two Mike targets before being withdrawn, After sitting tight and holding at Caprycke, •the 19th became part of the secret force which moved up to Hock to assist in the seaborne assault. Canadian ,gunners work- ed overtime here and drew high praise from the infantry for the accurate fire laid doWn. When the issue' had been 'decided at a3reskens, the 19th set out for "'round .Antwerp way", where the Canadian Army was poised for the push which finally cleared the Hun from south of the Maas River.,, Value of the self-propelled guns was evident here. The regithent shifted from one position to anoth- er; keeping up a deadly •fire on the retreating Germans, Today the 19th. is "somewhere" with the 1st 'Canadian Army. ' It is one of the veteran outfits of that formation, and is daily _en- hancing its reputation by continu- ing to pin Jerry's ewes back in its own unusual fashion. As the Al- lies 'pound deeper into Nazi ter-, ritory, you'll hear more ftom these self-propelled gunners.
