The following broadcasts are from D-Day. The North Nova Scotia Highlanders landed on Juno Beach during the operation and soon were pushing through France. The book, No Retreating Footsteps by Will R. Bird, covers much of the North Novas struggles during the mission that marked the beginning of the end of the War in Europe.

The names listed below are the Nova Scotia Highlanders that gave the greatest sacrifice during World War II. We honour them here and in the Book of Remembrance on display at the Nova Scotia Highlanders Regimental Museum.
