HISTORICAL ACCOUNT
LOCATION: St. Lambert sur Dives, Normandy
DATE: 19 August 1944
COMMENTARY: As the battle for the Falaise Gap drew to a climax, troops
of the Canadian 4th Armoured Division sought to close the exit for the retreat-
ing remnants of the German Seventh Army. Major D. V. Curries' battlegroup of
175 men, 15 tanks, and 4 self propelled AT guns sought to occupy the village
of St. Lambert sur dives.
In the first of an epic series of actions, for which Major Currie was
to be awarded the Victoria Cross for his conspicuous bravery and extreme
devotion to duty in the face of the enmy, the Canadian battlegroup successfully
occupied half of the village before being counter-attacked by the Germans. In
the following thirty six hours, the Canadians succeeded in holding the village
against repeated counter-attacks, thereby ensuring the fate of the encirled Sev-
enth Army.
