Last Saturday, November 4th, I organised a battlefieldtour around Sainte Mère Eglise for some Normandy friends.

Last Sunday, during a private guided tour, we arrived in the C47 Memorial Garden at Picauville. Completely by coincidence, we met one of the founders of this garden, Mr. Charles Shay. Being a Medic with the 1st US Inf. Div., Mr. Shay landed at Omaha Beach, on June 6th, 1944 …..

Last June 2023, none of us would have thought we’d met for the last time ….
