Canadian troops landing on the Juno sector of the Normandy beaches - 6 June 1944
Juno was ultimately the responsibility of the Canadians to secure. The objectives were to establish a beachhead between Courseuilles and St-Aubin-Sur-Mer, a five-mile distance, push through the gap between Bayeux and Caen, and to eventually arrive at Carpiquet airfield eleven miles inland.
