If you look at the church steeple, you can see a paratrooper stuck on it. During D-Day, one landed there when they were dropped at the wrong place. He hung there for two hours playing dead before he was captured and made prisoner. I think the town was Mere St. Eglese, but I'm positive I'm spelling that wrong. The clouds luckily held off and we ended up with pretty good weather. They were pretty dramatic though weren't they!
