Not restoration or re-enacting related, but last spring I interviewed Cpl (Retd) Stanley Fields, 5th Field Company RCE. He landed on Nan Beach of Juno Beach ahead of the assault infantry. Stanley had a safe but productive war, bridging, mine-finding, building, blowing up and making fresh water. He twisted his back carrying a bridge panel at night, but only lost a week with his section. I have a copy of the declassified DDay obstacle map of Juno Beach, centred on Bernieres sur Mer. At a mutually agreed time, I hope to videotape him speaking to the map and that day in his life.
