Thanks for the link Ron – very sobering reading regarding the casualties. In a recent TV documentary on the lead up to the D-Day landings, it was revealed that a dry run (using live ammo) on a UK beach some weeks before had gone horribly wrong resulting in some 750 allied troops dying during that exercise.

Cheers
