Editing 2nd Canadian Division (section)

====Rebuilding (1942–1944)====
Throughout 1943, the 2nd Division focused on rebuilding its ranks, having lost close to half its strength at Dieppe. General Roberts remained in command of the division until an unsatisfactory handling of the division in an army-level scheme caused his ouster.<ref>See "The Generals" by Dr. Jack Granatstein, who responds to widespread rumours – which he believes are unfounded – that Roberts was fired because of Dieppe.</ref> In January 1944, Major General [[Charles Foulkes (Canadian Army general)|Charles Foulkes]]—the first to command the division who had not served in the [[First World War]]—replaced Burns.<ref name="Copp35">Copp, p.35</ref> The following month, all three brigade commanders were replaced as part of a general move to modernize the Canadian forces' higher echelons;<ref>Copp, p.37</ref> further sweeping changes throughout all levels of command, coupled with the lingering effects of the large influx of new personnel during 1943, lowered morale in the division.<ref name="Copp35"/> However, in March 1944, training again intensified, heralding the coming [[Operation Overlord|invasion of Europe]]. On 9 March, the 2nd Division was inspected by King George VI,<ref>Copp, p.38</ref> and by May the division numbered close to 18,000 fully equipped and trained soldiers.<ref>Copp, p. 39</ref> When D-Day arrived on 6 June 1944, the main Canadian assault was led by the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, while the 2nd Division was held in reserve.<ref>Copp, p. 41</ref>
