Third teenager charged with second-degree murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #news #halifax #policeOn a bright June 1941 morning, 1,044 young men marched out of the Col. James Layton Ralston Armoury in Amherst.

The sons- and fathers-turned-soldiers leaving the Armoury in 1941 would land at Juno Beach on D-Day, defeat a counterattack by the 12th Panzer division, fight through France, Holland and the Netherlands and then plant the first allied flag on German soil at the house of Hermann Goring’s aunt near Aachen.

If it’s housing the federal government is seeking to create by dispensing of the Armoury, it’s housing they intend to offer.
