the rectangles are panes covered with mushrooms. They belong to the fence that surrounds the churchyard. This is typical of this part of France where people use panes to preserve old walls. It also shows the tiny churchyard that lies immediatly next to a field. I know what you mean with the stumbles. They can get pretty deep cuts. The fact that I took the pictures at dawn is a coincidence, but I certainly thought this would be very close to what you must have seen. It allowed me to get an unsuspected idea of the scenery. As I told you earlier, I will return there as soon as possible to get some more information.
When you were at Freteval, did you stay with the survivors of your Lanc or did you also meet other airmen. Do you remember any names or details?
