  Thank you Colin and Woody for bringing this piece of history to a wider audience, one wonders how many 'smaller' actions wait to have their story told and the soldiers who lost their lives to be remembered and honoured.

  Interesting and amusing quote from Whitelaw (Deputy PM under Thatcher) following Runcie being appointed to lead the Church of England in the role of Archbishop of Canterbury, during 1980 - "Splendid news... Fine man, Runcie. I knew him in the Army; very brave, very brave. Quite religious too, you know"

  Yet another great show but above all many thanks to Colin, his colleagues, all the sponsors for the memorial. I love it and I think it is on the right spot, together with the view, the orientation table is an excellent idea😍 . Interesting but also unsual (?) arrangement of the graves at Hotot cemetery, I will have to paid these brave men a visit at some point.

  What a fantastic show! Thank you Woody and Colin. Found the memorial by accident a couple of years ago. Won't forget because I lost a tooth chewing a sweet. The jagdpanther at the station was taken there by the royal engineers. There were 2 found within 500m of St pierre. Will visit hotpot next time I'm over.
