Welcome to Aldbourne in Wilshire. A beautiful village and from 1943-4 home to Easy Company, 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne. Today we’ll see what was left behind by the Band of Brothers and traced by our archaeology project #DiggingBandofBrothers #BandofBrothers

Webster felt that he had woken up on the set of a Hollywood film! His diaries are just one of many left behind in the many written works about this most famous of military units. #DiggingBandofBrothers #BandofBrothers

Of course, the reason that this group is so well-known owes a lot to the historic account written by Stephen Ambrose, and the television series that has lasted so well #DiggingBandofBrothers #BandofBrothers Band of Brothers Official trailer:

Start then in the middle of the village at Aldbourne Heritage Centre: http://aldbourneheritage.org.uk/  with their exhibition as well as an iconic Dr Who episode shot here. We’ll be looking at images taken by the wonderful @beardysnapper throughout. #DiggingBandofBrothers #BandofBrothers
