Littlecote House in England

  The first official start of our World War II Battlefield tour began at Littlecote House, headquarters of the 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment in England during 1944. The most inspirational part of this visit was meeting two 'witnesses' of the era! At almost every stop on the tour, we got to meet people who actually lived in the area at the time and could tell us interesting bits of personal history. We met two delightful, English ladies who shared their memories, pictures, and thoughts during the war especially as it pertained to our military being there to support the war efforts. The picture shows the approach to Littlecote but hardly gives justice to the expanse of the property or the beauty. The inside of the house was open to any and everyone without an admission fee. Lots of history there. The most interesting part, at least to me, was the fact that anyone could come in and just sit in the beautiful rooms and read or sit and think.
