The Regina Regiment Monument, Courseulles-sur-Mer, 1989

The monument to the right of the gateway, by the Canadian flag is that of The Regina Rifle Regiment. The Regina assault companies had a hard struggle in clearing a succession of strongpoints in the eastern half of Courseulles; and one of their followup companies met disaster when several of the landing craft were blown up on mined obstacles which the incoming tde had covered. Only 49 officers and men survived.
