Saint-L™ in ruins, August 1944. This photograph is taken from the Crossroads Hospital looking towards Torteron which is dominated on the left by the "old town" on its southern side. Note the remaining tower of Notre Dame. Although the houses are in ruins, the streets have been cleared and a U.S. convoy travels with troops. In front of the Jeep, a road sign with an indicator arrow on the right says: N 172, COUTANCES, N 172, Bayeux, N 174, Carentan, Torigny? Torigni-sur-Vire 13 km south, GC 6 Isigny
