Some 'Ole' Boy' in Normandy.

We bumped into Capt. Dale Dye at the La Fiere bridge over the River Merderet.

He is going to direct a film regarding the 82nd Airborne assault that took place there.

 

Capt. Todd, he said that the follow up to B.O.B featuring the CORPS called ' Pacific'

is released this Autumn. :armata_PDT_37:

Very cool! I looked him up in that knower of all things, Wikipedia, and found this. He seems to have been a been there done that kind of guy just a little latter than you guys (Roque, et al.)

 

I have heard about The Pacific War and am looking forward to it. B.o. B. was great; with the same crew working on TPW I look forward to a great show.

This photo Mr Huebner was taken at the churchyard across the river from you .We think it is a 30.06,

it's amazing that noone has removed it after all this time.
