Kangaroo AWD site near Bayeux, France

[Alex van de Wetering]

The best detail pictures on the IGN website are taken in 1959. They give a good idea of what is presumably Kangaroo field.

As quoted on page on of this thread "in two fields near Bayeux with the camp sited in the protection of a neighbouring orchard".....

What is described as "old equipment park" could easily be called, "two fields" with the hedgerows in the middle. The Orchard is also obvious......apple trees I presume for making "Calvados".



The most interesting pics would obviously be those taken in August 1944 as they will probably show vehicles and stores everywhere. I hope the "Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies" in Ontario might have these, but even though they have thousands of pictures available online...I can't seem to find a search option(?). I will try to contact them tomorrow, to ask if they could at least tell me which "boxes" I should investigate. Does anyone have experience with searching for photograps in the LMH archive?
