A view of Slapton Church in Devon, looking through the gate, past a sign which reads "Out of Bounds By Order Range Commandant". All churches and historic monuments in the area were padlocked, covered in barbed wire and designated as out of bounds whilst the US Army carried out training exercises in preparation for the D-Day Landings. They also had white strips painted on their roof (clearly visible here) to make them clearly identifiable as 'untouchable'. Despite these precautions, however, this church was damaged by naval shelling carried out as part of this training, despite being some distance from the sea.}}
