Lower Post, British Columbia
The 340th’s lead bulldozer broke through to the Lower Post Road on September 3rd. Lower Post, just south of Watson Lake, was a small Indian village with log cabins, sod roofs and an old Hudson Bay trading post-still operating. At Lower Post, Hoge modified his plan again. The second battalion turned around and headed back toward the oncoming 93rd, upgrading as they went. The 1st Battalion raced on east toward their historic appointment with the 35th.
