Baraque de Fraiture - Parker's Crossroads 1997

589th FIELD ARTILLERY POSITIONS

DECEMBER 1944

On the exact spot where Barney Alford had its 105 howitzer gun installed.

Discovery of two shell-casings, some empty hand grenades and dozends of caliber .50 cartridges

 

 

The deterioration of the tree leaves left a nice natural print on the casings.

PARKER'S CROSSROADS

This roadsign dating back to the 1930's had been used by a GI to make a nice roof over his foxhole.

It was discovered untouched on the spot some 50 years later. There are still some schrapnels damages on.
