Servicemen of the 2nd Battalion US Rangers were trained for D-Day on Upton Cliffs near Bude in 1943-44.

In the third part, Jack Gardner, Chairman of Bude-Stratton Town Council talks to Len Rubin about what it was like in Britain during the war. They discuss rationing into the 50s and the importance of close ties between nations.
