Sergeant Caya, a private at the time, joined the army in September 1941, at the young age of sixteen and was attached to the 10th Brigade, 4th Division, Algonquin infantry regiment, which landed on the beaches of Normandy, July 25th 1944. During the invasion, his commanding officers noticed his bravery and natural born leadership skills and was soon promoted to the rank of sergeant, in charge of "A" Company 7th Platoon.
Many of his regiments fellow soldiers and
platoon commanders lost their lives during the next 10-1/2 months.
Though they are gone, they will never be forgotten.
"Caya surely has something to say and has earned the right to say it"
"George was a real man and a damn good leader when it counted. If his story could only be told on film, it would put all the others behind and even equal "Saving Private Ryan" which was very good for an American story, made most realistic thanks to Steven Spielberg."
Having received many compliments from his past officers, peers and rewards from the Royal Family. Has now published two books in the memory of his fallen Comrades.
