Royal Winnipeg Rifles in Normandy post-Battle for Carpiquet?
In particular what was the role of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles in Operation Spring in late July 1944? I can’t find much mention of them only the other parts of 3rd Canadian Division.

The RWR played no part in Op Spring, the reason being the operation broke down in phase I.
