September 15
Day 4, Sunday
After breakfast, we’ll kick off the day by heading to the small hamlet of Holdy where the ‘sister battery’ to Brécourt was located. We’ll discuss the desperate action that unfolded around that position, and once done, head over to the Command Post site of the 506th Regiment at Culoville.
From there, we’ll take leisurely drive to visit the peaceful hamlet of Angoville au Plain and its famous church, and then it’s off to the renowned Dead Man’s Corner Museum.
We’ll follow that up in Carentan, following Easy's route of advance and visiting related sites along the way. We’ll close out the touring day by visiting the area where the “Bloody Gulch” fight took place on 13 June 1944. This action was key to the battle for holding Carentan and maintaining the link between Utah and Omaha Beach.
To put a cap on an amazing day of touring, we’ll go back to our hotel and then out for dinner.
