The blurb as it stands now is below: The 2nd Canadian Infantry Division was an infantry division of the First Canadian Army, mobilized on 1 September 1939 during the Second World War. Initially composed of volunteers within brigades established along regional lines, a halt in recruitment in the early months of the war caused a delay in the formation of brigade and divisional headquarters. With questions concerning overseas deployment resolved, the division's respective commands were formed in May and June 1940, and was deployed to the United Kingdom between 1 August and 25 December 1940. Elements of the 2nd Division were selected as the main force for Operation Jubilee, a large-scale amphibious raid on the port of Dieppe in German-occupied France. Following a period of reconstruction and retraining from 1942 to 1944, the division joined II Canadian Corps as part of the Second British Army for the Allied Invasion of Normandy. Joining the newly activated headquarters of the First Canadian Army in the assault on northwestern Europe, the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division played a significant role in the retaking of the Channel ports, the Battle of the Scheldt, and the liberation of Holland.

We're a few articles short of the thirty or so that we need and it would be great if you have the time to shepherd one or two of your articles through FAC to reduce the time to required before we can nom the FTC. If not, we'll trudge onwards, but it would be nice if you could help to speed things up.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:06, 7 December 2011 (UTC) I've been on a sort of extended wikibreak, but being bored out of my mind and trying to procrastinate studying has brought me back. Will do. With regards to sources, Kongo class battlecruiser and Japanese battleship Kongo are pretty much good to go; they both just need a good copyedit (I'll do that saturday evening after my first exam). I can shepherd one of them through over the holidays, and then another one through in January (seriously? nothing happens in classes in January!). Cam (Chat)(Prof) 21:26, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
