Tomorrow is june 6th the anniversary of D day. There is a programme on channel five tonight I think about it all.
It just triggered some memories for me of the two trips I made to the D day beaches and the battlefileds along the Falaise gap and the corridor of death. Having been there and seen the ground for myself it never ceases to amaze me how anybody ever got off Omaha beach in particular. Also the road along the village of Trun and the tiny bridge at Moissey Ford ...here you can still jus tgrab a handful of dirt from the field and it will contain empty cartridges almost for sure.
Then there is the church at st mere eglise, definatly worth a visit.
Anyway...it's a part of history we should not forget imho.
