Angoville

Angoville au Plain.
The monument on the right is dedicated to medics Robert E. Wright and Kenneth J. Moore of 2nd batallion, 501st PIR of 101st Airborne. In Angoville-au-Plain church they tended both numerous wounded soldiers and a child, during the fightings of first days of the Landing.

I´ll try to post more photos. There is also a fantastic account of a similar visit made by Greg Way

Hope this helps. Best regards

I know it has been many years since this post and I came across this about D-Day Angoville and the 501 PR vs FSJ Rgt. 6.

I can't help but wonder if the German officer stepping into the church and "crossing himself" was von der Heydte. The story says so much about the medics and also the FJ for following a code of chivalry.

The CGI are basic in this; but, it was the most concise of the versions I saw:

May all those involved rest in peace.
