    Deacs Well i am from Cumbria.

    Could some one give me clarification on this newspaper photo please.

    I would like to know was it taken on D-Day, is it a Churchill (Herbert's funnie) and on Juno ?.

    Any help appreciated as always.

    Mike.

    Thanks Idler I have found it now cheers.

    This newspaper clipping was found in my granda Alberts wallet, so as it was taken on Sword it has nothing to do with granda and being on Juno.

    Cheers Mike.
