ON THE BEACHES
Flight Lieutenant Harper of Niagara Falls, Ontario, landed at Juno Beach
with the Canadians on D-Day and had his radar up and running within eight
hours. Another radar detachment, whose senior technician was Flight
Sergeant M. Adair, RCAF, of Langley, B.C. landed on Omaha Beach with the
Americans. They sustained nearly 50 casualties from enemy fire. Both F/Lt.
Harper and Flight Sergeant Adair received the
Croix de Guerre from the French government for their bravery.
