Bocage Posted September 4, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2011 Here's some pictures of the 'Place Toccoa', where medics Moore and Wright are honored. Location of the church an monuments is 49°20'56.15"N / 1°15'12.06"W Inside the church there's evidence of what took place there almost 70 years ago: blood stains still on the church's benches and a hole in the ceiling an floortiles where a mortar shell landed - but didn't explode - while 80 or so american and german wounded, including some civilians, were being taken care of by these so american paratroopers. Pictures were all taken when I visited the D-Day anniversary in 2009. There's plenty of historical reference of this place, and the stain-glass windows found in the internet. Enjoy.

gwb123 Posted September 4, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 4, 2011 Thank you for sharing these photos. Many of us will not have the chance to see these memorials, but it means a lot to know that they are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
