The scars of war in Ranville: from MG/Flak impact marks on buildings to battle-damaged (and later repaired) walls. One of the many layers of that landscape of the Second World War in Normandy.

Sherman V DD from 13/18 Hussars, in this atmospheric photo by Sgt Christie, with the Horsa near Ranville #OTD 10th June 1944.

Love the stowage on this one, particularly the spare drive sprockets, one of which is ringing the MG… fantastic. #Stowage

History research leads you places you never expect. I've seen this picture many times, of Lieutenants Joseph Maurice Rousseau (left) and Joseph Philippe Rousseau, 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, and visited their graves, which are side by side at Ranville.

And we are back at the ring contour south of Bas Ranville, as @clogfather.bsky.social 's Para platoon counterattacks Arvid's PanzerGrenadiers in the 3rd game of the Von Luck Pint sized campaign. After the dramatic ending of last game, can the Germans regain initiative? #spreadthelard
