Great pics Eyemo. Hope to see you there. First trip for us, sailing Portsmouth to Cherbourg on the 3rd and camping at Carentan with the North Staffs MVT. Look out for the '44 Ford GPW in 9th USAAF/344th BG colors nicknamed "Rum Buggy."

Every time I see the famous picture of the empty Higgins boat the lines from The Last Farewell come to mind:

I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing...

.....Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell


For those who made the ultimate sacrifice, thank you!
