John Trippon and his son return to Vierville

John Trippon's father had landed on June 6, 1944 a few hundred meters from Vierville Castle. He had returned in 1984 for the ceremonies of the fortieth anniversary of the Landing.

The year before the article, his son, also named John, had spent a few days on this beach. He returned there with about thirty compatriots stationed in a helicopter battalion in Germany. The group was received on a Tuesday at Mr. Hausermann's castle.

The cut presents John Trippon father as the youngest American soldier to have landed on June 6, 1944.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The end of a few lines is cut, but the rapprochement of the two columns makes it possible to restore the return of the thread with the group. The statement about the youngest soldier is attributed to the newspaper, without additional historical verification.
