The Drive to Juno by Ivan Berryman. [Original Painting]

On 6th June 1944, D-Day, the Canadian steamship HMCS Prince David (F89), seen here in the background, released her compliment of landing craft embarking elements of Le Regiment de la Chaudiere, plus some Royal Marines, bound for Mike and Nan beaches. Their mission was to clear mines and provide cover for the assault craft that were to follow. By the close of the day, all of her landing craft had been lost to enemy action except one that was accidentally forced onto a semi-submerged obstacle by a friendly tank carrier.
