SAINT AUBIN SUR MER
BRECHE DES ACADIENS
Le matin de 6 juin 1944, le NORTH SHORE REGIMENT, unite des Forces
Canadiennes originaire du Nouveau Brunswick, participe au Debarquement
dans le secteur de JUNO BEACH, sur la plage voisine baptisée NAN RED
avant de liberer SAINTE-AUBIN SUR MER.
De nombreux jeunes Acadiens, engages dans l'armee canadienne,
decouvrent alors, pour la liberer, la terre de leurs ancetres.
Neuf d'entre eux perdent la vie ce 6 juin 1944, un autre le lendermain.
La BRECHE DES ACADIENS reste pour nous tous le symbole de l'attachement
et de la reconnaisance que nous leur portoons.

SAINT AUBIN SUR MER
ACADIAN BRECHE
On the morning of June 6, 1944, the NORTH SHORE REGIMENT,
Canadian from New Brunswick, participates in the D-Day
In the area of JUNO BEACH, on the neighbouring beach called NAN RED
Before liberating SAINTE-AUBIN SUR MER.
Many young Acadians, engaged in the Canadian army,
Discover the land of their ancestors to liberate her.
Nine of them lost their lives on June 6, 1944, another on the next day.
The ACADIAN BRÊCHE remains for all of us the symbol of attachment
And of the gratitude which we bear them.
