On the anniversary of DDay I watched a very good documentary on PBS last year called “Seize and Secure”, the story of seizing the bridge at La Fiere. Coach Ben played a role and is shown wearing his SU jacket. The movie is on YouTube I Highly recommend watching It

Incredible. I had no idea about this, it should be required viewing. It's free for amazon prime members.
 
It is a good view. Also hard to believe the "Battle of Britain" is almost 80 years ago.

My mother was from Folkstone on the Southern coast of England near Dover Her family really suffered in the Battle of Britian. My Aunt’s building got bombed and she moved her furniture out to the street and somebody stole it.
There is a little hamlet on the road to Canterbury that has a nice inn. Another aunt and uncle took me there for “The Ploughman’s Special”. It is the same inn that a scene from the movie “The Battle of Britain” was filmed. I gotta go back again.

Based on this I watched this afternoon. Ben is pretty prominently featured!
