On this day, 80 years ago, Canadian Sappers were among those leading the assault on Sicily at Pachino Beach. Over the next four weeks, the 1st Canadian Infantry Division supported by the 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade would fight through the Sicilian Hills in some of the hardest fighting of the Second World War. Individual stories of Royal Canadian Engineer bravery and sacrifice are told in Sapper Action in Sicily, a special series developed by the CMEA and participating units to commemorate the campaign.
