German Bunker Asnelles with Memorial Plaques
This bunker on the shore on Gold Beach caused much trouble to the Hampshires and Dorsets as they came ashore at 0730 on D-Day. It was finally knocked out by Sergeant R. E. Palmer, using a 25 pdr self-propelled gun at 300 yards, in an action that earned him the Military Medal. On the bunker wall are memorial plaques to the Essex Yeomanry and the 147th Field Regiment RA
