Lieutenant Andy Pope, Normandy, 1944
Andy Pope is an eighteen-year-old Second Lieutenant in a British infantry battalion. He is younger than many of the men in his platoon – something that makes it particularly hard to be their officer. But through fairness and with the guidance of a seasoned sergeant, he earns his men’s respect by handling his troops well on exercise, and leading them into battle when the chips are down. He’s put to the test when he finds himself in charge of a unit that has to keep Germans from occupying a strategic French town.

In the years following the creation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867, the Canadian territory experienced rapid expansion. Faced with the growing threat of alcohol traffickers and bandits ruling the American West, the establishment of a police force quickly became necessary to ensure order and security in the vast expanse of the prairies and regions North. This is how the North-West Mounted Police was created in 1873, responsible for ensuring impartial justice. Essential players in the protection of Indigenous people and newcomers, the story of these soldiers in red tunics is inseparable from the emergence of boom towns sparked by the gold rush and the construction of the railway.
