    Hope you are having a geat time. I went in the 80s. The courage of our soldiers was amazing and it really brings home their risk and sacrifice. I know it affected me greatly. I don't know how much things have changed. One thing I hope is still there is the parachute on the St Mere eglise church.

    Great trip at last, great weather and great company last night. Finally met Mr Mehmet. Strange how people are so different than you imagined. 

    Pegasus bridge  was amazing  no where near the size you think it is . The glider crew who took it deserve our admiration.

    Gutted to have had to drop out last minute especially as I bring the average age of the group down by such a lot and I make all the group photos look so much better too but I’ll be back on the next one…. 
    Hope everyone has a good time and doesn’t get too sweaty in this weather….

    The vehicle is a Sexton - self propelled howitzer - British - for some reason, at the time, we named all our self propelled artillery with religious names - there was also a ‘Priest’ a ‘Deacon’ and a ‘Bishop’ - post war we had the ‘Abbott’ - we no longer use religious names

    Does it list the names of the fallen on the wall and pillars @LargeAddick?
  • LargeAddick
    LargeAddick Posts: 32,593
    Yes it does and includes all those who died later back home due to their wounds. It really is an impressive site.
