Default British Snipers in Normandy
Hi guys

Needing some help in finding information, either books or (preferably at the moment) on the web, regarding British Snipers in Normandy. I have quite a bit of info already on equipment and weapons (would not mind some more though ) but am struggling to find information about training methods and actions regarding trained snipers deployed in the ETO and more specifically Normandy.
Its for a project I am working on at the moment in between work and travelling but at the moment am finding information hard to come by so whatever info you guys can give me would be great.

Cheers

Denis Edwards, author of The Devil's Own Luck, was a 19 year-old sniper in Normandy. I can ask him if he would be willing to help you with your research.

A book which may interest you is Captain C. Shore's 'With British Snipers To The Reich' originally published in 1948 and reprinted by Greenhill Books in 1997 ( ISBN 1-85367-292-0 ).
