Hi, Off to France next week and hoping to spend a bit of time near Sword beach. One of our groups Grandfather landing on D-day with the Norfolk regt and was wounded somewhere around/between Hillman and Rover. We are planning to explore this area and I was wondering if anyone could post a map of the area South of Hillman. I already have a few road maps and the Holts guide map for the area, but would like something from the day or of a scale for walking 1:25,000. Thought I'd try here before ordering from IGN. Cheers Ali
I do have copies of the original D Day maps for that area, brought back by a mate that had them stuffed down his blouson when he was wounded, they are so tatty that they are not worth posting. But a full battle map is obtainable over there at the museum..they give them away almost. Wish you well, I was at Hillman. never been back Sapper
Paul- Cheers, email on way. I'm particularly interested to locate a position known as Vermouth as the Norfolks advanced towards there from Rover. Regards Ali
