Mark:
Thanks for the great photo. What I remember was that the cliffs were white chalk and at the top of the cliff where our headquarters was located in a little English cottage it had overlooking the ocean a small hand generated search light that used an arc light for its illumination source. The rest of the group were under canvas. We had demonstrations from the local home guard who showed us some of the wildest craziest anti invasion weapons you ever saw. Some of the rifle companies had to visit the local slaughter house and physically handle the inards of the butchered cattle. They were told this would toughen them up when they came under fire. Some of these war time commanders had some wierd ideas. Again Mark, appreciate your research efforts.
