The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own) (RCAC)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own) (RCAC) is a reserve armoured reconnaissance (recce) regiment of the Canadian Forces.
In a single battle, The British Columbia Regiment had nearly 100 percent vehicle casualties at Hill 195 in Normandy during August 1944. Operating in darkness, the regiment navigated to the wrong hill and found itself surrounded by German armoured units on adjacent hilltops and subsequently wiped out during the next morning's fighting.[1]
