Mark Holtom (aka Kingbeard)82 years ago today, June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, led D Company of Royal Winnipeg Rifles ashore at Juno beach. He would be shot 6 times, survive and go on to become Scotty on Star Trek.
Kierkethumbs up convincingly@MarkHoltom shot 6 times by his own people after sneaking off for a smoke and surprising them when he came back
Marcos Dione@Kierkegaanks still, "He first saw combat on D-Day, landing in the second wave in a reconnaissance party at Juno Beach. The 13th Field Regiment was interspersed with the Regina Rifle Regiment landing at Nan Sector of Juno Beach. Doohan positioned his battery on high ground, leading them through a field of anti-tank mines, and they took defensive positions for the night". Quite impressive all the same.
