GBG Member Bob Hilton has just returned from a tour of Normandy and reports: It came as pleasant surprise to realise you can now get right up to the bunker with the Ranger Memorial on it. Even better you can walk around the front of the bunker and get a fantastic view along both sides of the Pointe.
I cannot recall ever being able to access the Pointe myself in over 20 years of guiding in Normandy. This has become possible due to a hugh investment by the American Battle Monuments Commission in stablising the cliff face on which the Memorial stands.
