Allan Nadler was involved in a devastating battle in July 1944, just south of Caen in northern France: 320 members of his Black Watch battalion attempted to take back a ridge held by the Germans. Only 20 survived. “It wasn’t easy for anyone to be alive at that time,” the 101-year-old recalls. Photo by Pierre Obendrauf /Montreal Gazette
