from:Boyd's Cove, Newfoundland
My father John Robinson was a full service soldier of the 166th Regiment, 59th Battalion. He served from 1939 to 1945 and was one of the many infantry who landed in Normandy. He stayed on the front lines for 13 months after June 6, 1944 and returned home at the end of the war. His battalion moved through France, the Netherlands and into Germany. He told very few stories of his experiences and died at the early age of 39 on June 20, 1959.
