    If anyone who is visiting Pegasus Bridge this June, and going to the musem, would they kindly take a photo of the Fox Troop Memorial which stands beside the Bofors Gun by the old bridge. We already have a picture but it was taken at eye level looking down at the plaque giving a distorted photo, one taken face on would be great for our archives.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your kind offer. Just a picture of the Fox Troop memorial will do fine, I have taken all the other pictures I needed on my many visits. The area no longer looks anything like when your dad was there. Have a great trip.

    Thank you Nigelblue27, I asked for the copies and these are great, very kind of you. Sorry Tomtas I've only just spotted your kind suggestion, but that is the memorial to Major Howard and I didn't serve with him!
