This year I returned from Normandy with several intersting items from the 'Corridor of Death'. While visitng the Moissy Ford , which had been extensivly cleaned up by the local council I returned to Blighty with the following items recovered from ONE of the hedgerows, sixty years after the battle of Normandy. They were...

A 105mm artillery shell
An 88mm L56 shell

And best of all, a German Gasmask canister.

These were all found right by the ford in a hedge that had been severly pruned!!!
