Hey, all!

 

The family historical saga continues!!!

 

I found 8 testimonial photos taken in July 1944 during France "invasion" by Anglo-American armies. Exactly, the shots were taken during Longny-au-Perche (61-Orne), Normandy (where my parents lived at the time as neighbours !!) liberation: I'm posting 3 of them.

This one shows a US M8 recco AFV crossing the village square:

This second shows, sitting on this US M8, and from left to right, my aunt and my mother, aged 18.

 

The third and last photo shows my father , aged 19, proud on the same AFV with a lot of younger people.

 And that's all, lads !

A lot of us will never forget the brave US and UK boys who gave their lives for our freedom !

 

Cheers all!

 

Jeff
