TODAY IN CANADIAN MILITARY HISTORY
1918 - When his men hesitated at the Gavrelle Sector, Lieutenant George McKean of 14th Battalion, C.E.F., ran forward alone and threw himself head first into the trench, killing two of the enemy with his revolver. Inspired by Lieutenant McKean's action, his men advanced and swept the German defenders aside, capturing both the trench and its remaining occupants. For his actions Lieutenant McKean earned the Victoria Cross.
Today's Honour Roll
J. Mawhinney, M. G. Brandon, J. J. Tracy, S. Sleeth, C. J. Brown, C. E. Hersey, T. L. Bentley, S. G. Dunn, A. Charanduk, C. Sarff
These are 10 of the 313 Canadians who fell on this day in history.
