Canadian panzer units landed in Britain from the largest convoy of Canadian troops that has so far crossed the Atlantic. The convoy had an uneventful passage and in the landing of these highly-trained men a new victory in the Battle of the Atlantic has been achieved. The arrival of this new contingent completes Canada's armoured division in Britain and brings far beyond the 100,000 mark the number of Canadian volunteers who have left their country for service overseas.
Another message states that, the arriving Canadian personnel included members of specialist units and nurses. as well as the largest contingent to date of airmen who have graduated, in Canada in the Empire air training scheme.
