Thursday marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy during the Second World War.
D-Day would only be the opening chapter of the Battle of Normandy which raged until late August 1944 and would be a pivotal step in the liberation of Western Europe and the end of the war.
The Espanola Royal Canadian Legion Branch #39 in Espanola will host an open house in commemoration of D-Day tomorrow, Thursday, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Some 14,000 Canadian soldiers came ashore at Juno Beach in occupied France on June 6, 1944.
