The town entrance where we stayed, Grandcamp, at the spot where on June 6, 1944 a 28-year-old soldier from the Virginia National Guard single-handedly took on eight Nazi defenders with his bayonet, and survived. Sgt. Frank Peregory was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery, and was killed in action 6 days later.

Our own HQ base, Jamie looking out from the balcony. Many of the large houses still in the area were for years occupied by Nazi troops 75 years ago.
