We were proud to be a main battery division and now that we had the chance to prove we were Utopsil, there just werenit enough targets to go around. One intrepid soul printed, t'You name it boss and we'll hit it on top ofthe turret for the benefit of the Bridgew. Both parts of this bargain were kept, and at HCease href' Turret Two had poured more steel into the Normandy Beach than any turret aboard. We can,t forget how we blew the 'cbloomersn off our arch rivals - Turret One. , fFirst Row - Lee, A. B., GM3fc, Siepierski, E. J., GM3fc, Duffey, W. G., BM1fc, Mott, H. L., TClfc, Sandberg, A.
