Stock Photo - Major Roseveare commanded 3rd Para Sqn RE which was charged with blowing up five bridges over the River Dives. In his jeep, in the early hours of D-Day, he and his men charged down the hill from the village towards this bridge, when in his own words, 'the fun started, as there seemed to be a Boche in every doorway, shooting like mad. However, the boys got to work with their stens and Sapper Peachy did good work as rear gunner with the Bren'. They blew a 20ft gap in the masonry and then set off to their next target.
