Hello,
I went to St-Maclou ( Eure, Normandy ) to take similar photos
taken there by Ken EMERSON in august 1944.
For many we thought than this church was in Amfreville sector, but
St-Maclou is near the River Seine.

Hi Stephane
In two of the photos Ken has written St Maclou near Beuzeville for the HQ ( is the building still there?)
http://www.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/HQ+and+Sigs/1+SS+Bde/jde1498+copy.jpg.html
and in this one he also adds
"on the way home"

Hello Pete,
Yes I drove around but didn't find the same building.
I will return there, two villages are nearest, St-Maclou and Boulleville.
And i'll ask to the town hall, I will wait september after the holidays.
