Degsy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Looks like Caen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hmm Caen too, i was thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Don't agree. Caen was a substantial city even then. The green fields look too close and I don't think the perspective is right for this to be a view from the castle side of the city. Can't see a barracks anywhere.There don't appear to be any waterways. It is a photorecce pic; but beyond that I can't say. I expect I'll be wrong. Come on Dorset, do your worst.

Great War truck Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Ok then. Before i start going through books, is it in an area that was liberated by the British, the Canadian or American forces. I presume that it is a British photograph as the US ones had different markings in the corner? Thanks Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
