  1. The last photo( Extract from report to HQ Second Army from Col A.G.Cole. DDof A) seems to have some words missing (blurred)

  2. This is an incredibly valuable site, and much appreciated.

    My uncle died in a Sherman (gunner) during Operation Cobra, Aug.1, 1944.

    This site goes a long way toward helping understand what his life must have been like from the time he was committed to combat in mid-July, St. Lo, to his death near Tessy sur Vire during the breakout.
