They fought with distinction for the rest of the North-West Europe campaign, making a second combat jump at the Rhine crossings in March 1945, and fighting in Holland until VE-Day. In the post-war years the Canadian SAS and the Mobile Striking Force maintained an airborne capability, formalized in 1968 with the raising of a Canadian Airborne Regt, which later served overseas in Cyprus and Somalia. Since its disbandment in 1995 a parachute capability has been maintained by companies of light infantry units - Royal 22e Regt, Princess Patricia's, and Royal Canadian Regt - which served against the Taliban and al-Quaida in Afghanistan, 2002-03. This book details the fascinating and proud history of the Canadian Airborne Regiments.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 7mmItem Weight: 254gAuthor: Bernd Horn PhD, Michel WyczynskiIllustrator: Carlos ChagasContributor: Carlos Chagas (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: History, Military HistoryBook Series: EliteRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
