I remember seeing that, GJ, it was well done-for a change.
Chin up, Martin!
One piece of news myself. As you probably know, many replicas of the Atlantic Wall were built around Britain before D-Day, as part of the training. There are a few moors in the country which have the ruins of Hitler's Festung Europa gracing them.....
Anyway, our very own Sapper Brian's mob (246 Field Coy RE)built replicas of their D-Day objectives ("Hillman" & "Morris") in the hills around Moffat in the Scottish Borders in the winter of '43. I mentioned to him that I was going to try and find them, and he kindly emailed me with an excerpt from his book which had enough info to send me in the right direction. I have now got the excuse to disappear southwards for a weekend
If I locate them, I'll try and post the pics in here for everyone else's benefit.
Once again, thanks Brian
