IN THE BOCAGE In late June 1944 soldiers of the 29th Infantry Div fight their way through the fields, hedgerows and lanes of Normandy. A private, his M41 jacket inside out to blend in to the landscape, makes his way along the hedge line whilst his comrades wait. #Normandy80

I’m off travelling again today to revisit Normandy, though this time through the memories of a 101 year old veteran. Here’s one from last year’s @WeHaveWaysPod Fest of Tpr Richard Aldred, 99, with my painting of the most momentous day of his war. #DDay80 #Normandy80 #ww2

All the shop windows in Bayeux are getting ready for the 80th anniversary of DDay, #Normandy80
A pristine British gun of the type used in the DDay landings 80 years ago and its 80 year old version covered in a shell crust that washed up on a local beach just a few years ago. #Normandy80
The landing craft used in that unforgettable first sequence of ‘Saving Private Ryan’ as they land on Omaha Beach. Now in Ouistrehem at the Grand Bunker Museum. #Normandy80
Normandy research today. If you are visiting the Epron area you may find this of use. Taken from WO171/1381 - 1st Suffolk Regiment War Diary, it shows the area on 27 June 44 when the Battalion took part in "Operation Mitten". The map is useful, the report harrowing. #Normandy80

With them went not only the experiences of battle and memories of comrades lost, but a simple hymn which became the hallmark of Padre Jones' services and a reminder of a far away hill without a city wall. 🧵 5/5 #Normandy80
Today my mind is taking me back to Normandy, up the lanes from the beach, through this field, and to the ridge line beyond. I’m immersed in the words and stories of the men - men I knew - who fought across this landscape nearly 80 years ago. #Normandy80 #DDay80
