BOOK - South Albertas: A Canadian Regiment at War
By Donald E. Graves
The 29th Canadiand Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (South Alberta Regiment) was formed in 1940 from five Alberta militia units, and most of its arogiinal members came from western Canada. Almost forgotten today, the SAR forged a splendid combat record and was the only Canadian unit to receive the Victoria Cross during the Normandy campaign of 1944 and the only Canadian armoured regiment to receive that medal during the Second World War. As the Allies advanced across northwest Europe, the South Albertas were often in the lead and photographs of their tanks garlanded with flowers and flags and surrounded by jubilant civilians are familiar to many.
The story of this proud unit takes the "boys from the bald-headed prarie from the Rockies to the Rhine, and it is a chronicle of gallantry, sacrifice, military professionalism and humour, for although the South Albertas took their soldiering seriously, they never took themselves seriously. This trait will endear them to readers who follow this engaging account of a group of enthusiastic but green young recruits, products of the Depression, from the time they enter service in 1940 through the years of preparation in Canada and Britain, to the turmoil of combat in 1944-45, and into the postwar world.
