- catalog abstract ""The 29th Canadian Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (South Alberta Regiment) was formed in 1940 from five Alberta militia units, and most of its original 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 ... Three chapters deal with the SAR's most famous action, the Battle of the Falaise Gap in August 1944, where Major David Currie earned the Victoria Cross in four days of vicious fighting in and around the little Norman village of St. Lambert-sur-Dives"--Jacket.".
