“The Germans had a heck of a lot of soldiers, and they were ready for war or they wouldn’t have invaded. So if you have an invasion force, you have a strong surface force. So what do you do? You get behind them and that’s what we did. We went in and we jumped back behind them,” describes Master Warrant Officer (Ret) Mervin Jones, now 91 years-old recalling his time as a paratrooper who dropped into Normandy on D-Day. MWO (ret) Jones served in 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, part of the advanced force who jumped in the early hours of the morning. #StrongProudReady #DDay70 Canada Remembers
