You can see my uncle Maurice Malouin on a roof in London before being mobilized and participating in the Normandy landings. Following the landing, on the night of June 6 to 7, 1944 the American bombers dropped bombs but they miscalculated and several fell on the beach where the Canadian soldiers were and several died like my uncle following this bombardment. On his return from the war, a soldier came to meet my grandmother in Valleyfield to tell that if he was alive it was his son Maurice that he saved his life by throwing himself over his body during the bombardment. last was saved thanks to my uncle. For me my uncle is a hero and I would like this to be noted. Thank you -
