Casualty of war. Standing in the ruins of Saint Georges Du Bohon Church in Normandie. A group of paratroopers were misdropped in this town and fought until killed or captured. One died when he struck the now gone church tower. The church was later destroyed by artillery and bombing. The alter and a few foundations are all that remain but flowers still show the place is still regarded and remembered by the locals. The architectural features I saw seemed to indicate a church going back to the 12th century. It was a far flung place to be dropped on that fateful night in June of ‘44. Some Americans lost their lives fighting for this ground. Mr. Bando took us to this spot and told us the story. I am glad I got to visit. #epictravels #ww2history #normandie #normandy #epicbattles #historytour #historyguide #airbornehistory #battlesthatchangedtheworld #dday #operationoverlord #101stairborne #epicofthe101st #exploremore #traveler #paratroopers #saintgeorgesdebohun #grainges #travelblogger #travelforthesoul #ww2 #dday70 #liberationofeurope (at Normandy France) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4983j8lTNF/?igshid=a8hjx6zo92aa

thoughts

honestly can’t stop thinking about Normandy and this past summer. Those two weeks I was there for the 70th Anniversary were amazing. Sometimes I think I didn’t do or see enough - actually, I know I didn’t… But there was so much to do and I didn’t know my way around. But I went, and drove (standard!!) around one of the most beautiful and important places in the world, met veterans, met civilians who I’m still in contact with, met the actors from BoB, and was overall part of something amazing. Trying not to overthink

While wading thru some of my 2014 pics again, I came across this memorable #moment that I had oddly neglected in my #original edit. This image was taken in a tiny village in #Normandy #France on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of #DDay. This man had come to Normandy to show his appreciation 'toward all people USA' - those who had liberated his relatives from Nazi rule back in #1944.

Black Canadians in Uniform - Profiles of Courage (Second World War): The Carty Brothers

Military service was in the Carty family blood. Five brothers from the Saint John, New Brunswick family served during the Second World War. They came by this dedication to duty honestly—their father Albert Carty had served with the No. 2 Construction Battalion during the First World War.

At a time when recruiting regulations restricted the ability of Black people to serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force, all five overcame the odds and became airmen. Four of the five served at military bases in Canada during the war. Flight Sergeant Adolphus Carty, the eldest, was an airframe mechanic. His brother, Flight Sergeant William Carty, was an aeronautical inspector. Leading Aircraftman Clyde Carty was a firefighter. And Aircraftman (Second Class) Donald Carty was an equipment assistant.

Gerald Carty enlisted at age 18 and became one of the youngest commissioned officers in the Royal Canadian Air Force a year later. He served as a wireless air gunner in more than 35 bomber missions over occupied Europe and was wounded in action.

In keeping with the family tradition, the two younger Carty brothers still at home during the war years, Robert and Malcolm, were members of the Army and Air Cadets.

Our day at Omaha beach became more memorable when the marines showed up in mass to make sure it was safe for the dignitaries during the 70th memorial of dday..and the final official one since most of the guys have passed away now, only those that were the very youngest are still around.
