Stationed At Aldershot

Following the arrival of the troops at Liverpool the New
Brunswick unit was stationed at Aldershot. From that time until
D-Day the unit underwent extensive and intensive training while
acting as one of the units charged with the defence of Britain.
Here, again, a complimentary note is found in the official records:
"Throughout the training and carrying out of invasion schemes
a very small number of replacements were required for the North
Shore (N.B.) Regiment. The hardness and stigma of the unit's
personnel proved equal to the severest tasks."

And so, the North Shore (N.B.) Regiment was chosen to be one of
the first wave assault units on D-Day.
