Carrier tree

[carrierbarry]

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread.
Near where I live there is a oak tree halfway down the hill.
At the weekend an old timer in the village told me it marks the spot where in 1943, 4 canadian troops were killed when there Bren Gun carrier rolled over whilst practising for the Normandy landings.
I've driven passed this oak on the bottom road in my carrier for aleast 5 years and never know.
In the summer I intend to climb up and have a better look. Maybe even have a perminant marker made.
