Sequoia Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 IIRC there was a Canadian Division in France Spring 1940 that was seperated from the rest of the BEF somewhere near the Maginot Line that wasn't evacuated at Dunkirk but got out at some other port, Does any one *cough* Dorosh *cough* have any details about this division? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One brigade of the 1st Canadian Division landed in France after the Dunkirk evacuation, if you can believe it. They landed in Brittany IIRC, moved by train inland, cooler heads prevailed and the 2nd BEF was withdrawn before making contact. The Div came back out without their transport. 6 men were left behind - 1 died in a motorcycle crash, 1 went into captivity until 1945 and 4 others escaped to England. Lieutenant Colonel Ham Roberts of the RCHA was rewarded for bringing out his guns by hook or by crook (he commanded 2 Cdn Div at Dieppe two years later). Got a CM scenario in mind? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Well, if they never became engaged there's not much point in a scenario unless some one wants to do something hypothetical. It'd be more likely than Sealion after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
