Students honour Canadian soldiers with Juno Beach Project app

Hoping to pay tribute to the Canadian soldiers who fought on the beaches of Normandy, France on D-Day, grade 11 and 12 history and computer science students from Ontario developed the Juno Beach Project app on Windows Phone. The app features graphics that show access maps of the battlefields as well as the hour-by-hour progression of the Canadian regiments to Normandy. There is also a listing of regiments that fought on D-Day as well as stories of about 371 Canadians who died in combat. You can also get more information about the soldiers like their rank, regiment, hometown, education, employment prior to the war, date of death, and their burial location. You can download the app for free on the Windows Phone Store.
