Kangaroo AWD site near Bayeux, France

[Mark W. Tonner]

Hanno/Geoff;

Having re-read everything again and again, and having studied various maps and the layout of the 21 AG RMA, I'm certain, that we'll eventually find that the location of 'AWD Kangaroo', was somewhere in the vicinity of RYES (and I strongly suspect, to the area (north) west of RYES), either within the confines of what was the Royal Artillery Re-Organization Centre that was established there in July/August 1944, or just to the (north) west, across the BAYEUX-ARROMANCHES road, in the open area to the east of No. 17 AOD and south of the RAF airfield (see attached diagram and map).

The more I've studied the various pieces of printed information we have from all the different sources, the more it points to the RYES location (vicinity).

I've attached a diagram of a portion of the 21 AG RMA layout showing the area in question and a modern map of the area with the different Depots/Airfields from the RMA layout drawn roughly in, again showing the area in question.

Cheers
