It's an Achille.

Great Pics

Looks like not much has changed since my last visitation.

Did you find any goodies laying around or any remains of exploded trees?
The exploded trees where there a few years ago.

I came home with the top end pieces of a Nebelwerfer and shell fragments from that forest.

One great tip for you,
Search the net for some before and after pics of the places you visit.
They will really add to your enjoyment of standing in the exact same place as History was made.

Man would it be ever so cool to comb that forest with a metal detector. On second thought, there is probably still unexploded ordinance and digging around may get you an artifact or it may get you dead.
Thanks very much for sharing the pics.

 

[RUSTSPOT]

So very cool!

It's an Achille.

The white star is U.S. insignia but they could paint that on anything by mistake. What do you see that makes it the British variant Achilles? Is that a QF 17 pounder anti-tank gun? I wouldn't recognise that, but from the white star and the shape of the chassis and turret I figured M10.

Yeah the QF 17 pounder anti-tank gun.

The helmet with the muff was issued to US arty units in paticular AA guns crews where I have pictures wearing. If I recall some 90mm AA guns were used in the defense of the area as AT guns.

[Bunner]

Amazing how the fox holes are still there, reminds me of the Somme area where mine craters and shell holes are quite common close to the national sites.

Great pictures by the way. I had driven by Bastogne a while back but could not stop in for a visit, now I really want to see the sites and former front line positions.

Wow, must be amazing to walk through those woods, where so many heros fought and died. Just must be so surreal walking through history like that. I have to make a trip there.
