6th Airborne Division Stained Glass Windows, Ranville
There are two windows. One is to 6th Airborne and the other to St George. The first was unveiled in 1969 and the second in 1960. They are in a side-chapel in Ranville church. The area around the church became a Royal Engineers assembly area shortly after D-Day and as the first burials were made in the field beside the church the RE made a hole in the wall around the church to make it easier to move from one to the other. The gap is still there and allows easy access to the small Commonwealth War Graves plot in the church grounds
