Private Andrew Bonofonti - a conscript - was wounded by shellfire at the battle of Valenciennes on 1 November 1918. Although he recovered, on 20 March 1919 he died in hospital from TB. We will remember them.

The #Luftwaffe played a major but widely forgotten part in the Battle of #Normandy.

From 6 June #DDay to 30 June, they launched 12,829 sorties against the bridgehead, losing 818 aircraft in the process against multiple defensive belts.
