E rua nga piriti o te 2nd Canadian Division i arahi i te Dieppe Raid kino
i te tau 1942. I tua atu i tenei mahi, kaore te ope i kite i te pakanga tae noa ki te Hurae 1943. I te 1943, na te mea i hiahia te kawanatanga o Kanata kia kite wawe nga hoia Kanata i te mahi, i wehe te 1st Canadian Infantry Division, te 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade, me te 5th Canadian Armoured Division mai i te ope taua mo te uru atu ki te Whakatairanga Itari.
