Superb pictures of an incredibly important historic site Paul, I especially like the now and then comparison of the battle damaged gun in it's emplacement.
Regards, Bill

I'm glad you decided to put this thread together, the photos were great and I especially like the comparison to the war-time photographs. It really paints a picture inside your head, for those of us who haven't had the opportunity to make it over to Europe yet.

Wonderful photo's Paul, Thanks so much ! I have been there myself. I found & placed flowers on the grave of a GI I never met....He was a friend of our family that was KIA on 6 June 44. I'm the only person from my family that has been there. It seems strange...I wasn't born until 3 years after he was killed. Tom
