"War has one victor and thats Death. We are robbed of young people as well of possibilities never to be known. There are so many factors that will never be. We either learn from the past or pay and will pay bigger in the future."

David Brown

After 5 years Operation Husky has been remembered again with a project has involved three elements these are:
The organizing of a 20 day walk across Sicily following the path taken by the First Canadian Division; A commemorative tour of Sicily and Italy involving key Regiments in the first week of November wherein daily web-casts and live interviews with current serving troops and veterans
In recognition of the importance of the successful landing in Sicily on July 10th, 1943, Operation Husky 2018 organizers have conducted a ceremony on “Bark West” beach, the site of the 1st Canadian Division landing on the outskirts of Pachino and a 20 day walk to Adrano.
One marker have been placed for each of the days of the 28-day campaign, featuring a list of the fallen. A daily ceremony has been celebrated in each of 20 towns in which a wreath has been laid for the Canadians, Italians and Germans who died in the war 75 years earlier.
The mission of this project is to raise the awareness of high school history teachers of the role that Canadians soldiers played in the battle for Italy in World War II, marking the 75th anniversary of their achievements.

During the official remembrance service at the Canadian War Cemetery in Agira, local residents and dignitaries attended in sufficient numbers to ensure that every name was answered when the honour roll of the 491 fallen was called.

Operation Husky 2018 is being organized by Honorary Colonel Steve Gregory of 2nd Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery.
