Well, other than referring to a village of 91 people instead of 1700 …
But yes, in the other photo, the I is actually visible. Poor typography, though …

I stood
here to take that photo, looking northeast. The building that was behind me when I did, is now a small supermarket (and has been for as long as I can remember), but was the main village shop in 1944 — the man with the flat cap in the photo of
Esquay was the shopkeeper.
