    		Well, if there were Canadians among the paratroopers, to Antwerp, then someone needs to add some information to the site. Perhaps there was a Canadian detachment in the British First Airborne Division? Because otherwise, the Canadians seem to have been preoccupied with trying to get to Antwerp.

    Perhaps you could fix the site, Comm. Go for it.

    		Oops. Forget that first "to Antwerp."
