Had an email from the owner of this blog who has put up some very interesting photos of Arromanches and soldiers/units who were there:

I wish I'd found 300 WW2 photographs in my Granddad's basement...

Love the one of the chaps smoking next to the mine field & no smoking sign, but that cheesy grin from the life-jacketed Dday Bren Gunner on page one makes it the pick of the bunch for me.

What some utterly brilliant photos.
Someone tell Rich P about the DR on the Aerial in there.
I expect Iain would like to see the Redcaps too.

'Tommies in helmets', for me. All shapes and sizes. Lovely shot. An excellent archive. Thanks for sharing.
