The Adjutant's Lounge - Of Tours and Troops
In this episode, I'm joined by OC French Det (Gary) and the newly promoted OC Research (Nick) to discuss Nicks recent battlefield tour of Normandy following the route of the Canadian, Poles and British troops away from the beachhead and towards Falaise. Gary shares his experiences of leading a tour, and how they can benefit the re-enacting community. We also look at their relevance as part of a staff ride in the 21st century.
Special mentions to the Durham Light Infantry, Op Totalise, Caen, Op Jupiter and Hill 112
*Photo from Roi.dagobert - Operation Jupiter memorial on Hill 112 in Esquay-Notre-Dame (Normandy, France).
The Inscription reads;
"To the memory of all ranks of the 43rd (Wessex) Division who laid down their lives in the cause of freedom, June 1944 to May 1945. This memorial is erected on the site of the first major battle in which the Division took part July 10th to July 29th 1944 when this ridge, château de Fontaine, Éterville and Maltot were captured and held."
