www.suziefenwick.com. Visiting the area for research or holiday? - Highly recommended. Gites and gourmet food.

www.crutchleyhistory.co.uk. The Crutchley family site, with dedication to Thomas Crutchley - resting at Putot en Auge

www.pegasusarchive.org. Without doubt, one of THE most
Informative sites about the airborne - a must to visit.
This dedication is a very small part of
my research - and forms the basis for a
larger work [ “Bayonets in the Sun” ] on
the activities of the 13th.Btn. from D-Day up
to their triumphant arrival at the Seine - with
due emphasis placed on the Battle for Hill 13.
