"On 7 June 1944, a day after the D Day landings, the Canadian units were still on their way to their original targets of the day before, which were the Caen-Bayeux road and the airfield of Carpiquet just beyond the road. During their advance to the airfield, named Carpiquet after the nearby village, these troops encountered fierce resistance from the German 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend". It was the 25. SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment from this division, commanded by Kurt Meyer, that had taken upon itself the defence of the area between the landing beaches and the airfield. The 9th Brigade of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division (under command of Major-General Rodney Keller) was due to land on Juno Beach late in de morning of 6 June. The brigade had to advance through the lines of units from 7th and 8th Brigade of the same division that had stormed the beach that morning.The 9th Brigade was commanded by Brigadier Douglas Cunningham and consisted of three regiments: The Highland Light Infantry of Canada (Lieutenant-Colonel F. M. Griffiths), The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders (Lieutenant-Colonel G. H. Christiansen) en The North Nova Scotia Highlanders (Lieutenant-Colonel C. Petch). The 27th Armoured Regiment, The Sherbrooke Fusiliers Regiment, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel M. B. K. Gordon, was the armoured support. Around 11: 00 hour in the morning of 6 June General Keller decided to land the 9th Brigade. The unit was to land at St. Aubin and Bernières but the Navy had closed the beach in front of St. Aubin (Nan Red) because there was too much enemy fire. Because of this the entire brigade had to disembark at Bernières. Around 11:40 hour the first units landed there. However, due to traffic jams around Bernières it took until 16:00 hour before the first units advanced towards their rallying areas near Bény-sur-Mer.." Full article here link Amicalement Armand |

The Portucullis:
Toys to the left:
Work space to the right:
The spousal unit keep stating there was no room for her. Well one of her co-workers gave us an electric love seat recliner, problem solved:
Dual purpose game table and work table:
Close up of the work bench:
Fridge for baking supplies (and beverages) and rollout storage for kitchen stuff. (More spousal sugar to help the medicine go down):
Stuff being sorted through (see my sales in the marketplace, hint, hint):
The only thing still to come is a TV mounted to the wall. I will have that before football season starts up. Overall I am quite pleased and looking forward to actually doing stuff in there rather than just unloading boxes. Bring on the zombie apocalypse! |

Looks like you hit the $10 USD Battle Masters sets at some point, too. That work desk doesn't really look that way most of the time, does it? andy |

Yep, $10 USD a pop at a small town Walmart. The work table hasn't been broken in properly Andy. that is the cleanest it will look in quite a while I assume. |

Hope your spousal unit knows about "Genie"…per the work desk ornament in the left corner. Nice space with huge potential. Congratulations. Does the pizza delivery have the address on their GPS yet? |
