When I examined your farm field photo, I reasoned Bastogne as a possible nearby location. The storied account then appeared on the stone. My grandfather was thru Bastogne. He was filmed there. I regret not getting a copy of that documentary.
He was part of the 94th Infantry Division

Excellent photos Housil. Such a unique trip. I’m jealous.
Jfk06, you’d be right, considering Foy is about 4 km from Bastogne.

All the best, Gents.

Right, Foy is 6km outside of Bastogne ("Bastnach")
Re: Band of Brothers
We are in Bastogne each year for the "Nuts-Day" celebrations. Once you make it over here, I´ll tour you around
Did you notice I wore a Canadian parka?!
