Me after a staged capture of a church in longville (sp?) http://www.zg76.com/reiben/DSC02936.jpg We re-walked an 8km patrol that the 29th and Rangers did on June 8th 1944 with Dales Normandy 44 and the French Rangers. Villagers all came out of their houses to watch us and cheers us (and kiss us!), they then threw a street party. We were the first people who had done that since 1944. http://www.zg76.com/reiben/DSC02943.jpg http://www.zg76.com/reiben/DSC02938.jpg http://www.zg76.com/reiben/IM0025.jpg im on the left - http://www.zg76.com/reiben/IM0035.jpg

More of the parade - http://www.zg76.com/reiben/IM0060.jpg D-Day..... We awoke at 03.45am and got changed into our field kit. We set off to Omaha and got through the security (by our passes) - Security was VERY tight. We got to Omaha beach and was there at 06.30am. Alot of people were there including photographers and film crews. One of the Veterens a couple of days before said to Chris that we all must get our feet wet on Omaha on the 6th so we did.... http://www.zg76.com/reiben/CIMG0324.jpg
