Photograph by Major W H J, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), World War Two, North West Europe (1944-1945), 1944.

The Regiment was moved to this area on 11 June 1944 to be ready to deal with a German counter-attack, following the allied landings in Normandy. The counter attack did not materialise and spare time was used for inter-troop football matches, using a football which had been taken from a German canteen nearby.
