Hello everyone. My name is Robert MacDonald, son of Captain Robert "Buck" MacDonald, a Canadian who led a succesful partisan/SAS attack on the garrison of Alba called Operation Canuck.
Last month I travelled to Alba Italy with Jack Paley, a former Operation Canuck member, to commemorate Liberation Day. Surprisingly, Jack was the first SAS member to visit Alba since the War. We were struck by the heartfelt appreciation the Albanese still have for the SAS. But their history of Operation Canuck is missing the SAS perspective. Unfortunately, many of the Operation Canuck men have passed on and after 66 years, the memories of those who survive are naturally faded.
I noticed in Robert Hann's book "SAS Operation Galia" the Operation Order and Operation Debrief Report are added as appendices. Would anyone know if/where such reports are available for Operation Canuck?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I can be reached at rsmacdonaldpcns@gmail.com
Cheers,
Robert MacDonald
