begins with a woman’s narration as scenes of young men in battle play out on screen.

The “Dad” she’s referring to is Maj. Archie MacNaughton who died at the age of 47 on D-Day. He had fought in the First World War and led the North Shore New Brunswick Regiment during the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 in France.The large-scale amphibious operation is considered to have turned the tide in the Allies’ favour and paved the way for the eventual liberation of France and the collapse of Nazi Germany.

“He’d already served in the First World War, earned the right to stay home, raise his children, but how could he send those boys into battle and not be by their side?” the narrator asks.The film then shows MacNaughton’s character freezing at the sight of a young girl who reminds him of his daughter back home.There is the sound of yelling and gunfire before the screen goes to black.
