Capt Jack R. Heisler, The Regina Rifle Regiment

Mr. Heisler was a lieutenant commanding a platoon and landed with the first wave of the Regina Rifles. His group arrived late because of mines in the water, and he believes the crew of the Landing Craft were all killed on the way back out to sea. Mr. Heisler took part in securing the village of Courseulles and says there was a good deal of confusion there on the night of the 6th with Canadians, French and Germans all in the village. He also says his unit managed to liberate a number of 'Indian', (American-made) motorcycles.....from the enemy.
