Not easy to photograph; the plaques are low down, behind the town memorial, with a heavy flower pot obscuring part of both plaques.
On March 20, 1944, while completing their training for the invasion of Normandy, 29 members of C Company, 294th Engineer Combat Battalion, were killed in an antitank mine explosion in Sherborne. This plaque is dedicated to their memory. www.6thcorpscombatengineers.com/engforum/index.php?showtopic=1130
