Plaquette SDG-highlanders - Boulogne-sur-mer

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Deze herdenkingsplaat herrinert aan het veroveren van de Citadelle door de SDG.

De Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders (SDG) zijn een infanterieregiment van de primaire reserve van het Canadese leger.

Midden september 1944 kreeg de 3de Canadese Infanteriedivisie, met de 8ste en 9de Canadese Infanteriebrigades als leiders, de opdracht om Boulogne-sur-Mer in te nemen. De operatie kreeg de codenaam Wellhit.

De SDG-soldaten werden door een onbekende Boulonnais via een geheime tunnel in het kasteel binnen geloodst. Ze verrasten de 200 verdedigers.
