Time Team joins military veterans on a site linked to the US Army’s most famous World War Two regiment.
Richard Osgood co-founded an initiative that uses archaeological fieldwork to aid the recovery of wounded veteransMembers of the hit British archaeology show Time Team have joined military veterans for a "Band of Brothers" dig.
As the 80th anniversary of D-Day approaches in 2024, the Time Team members visited the village that was once home to Easy Company of the US 101st Airborne Division - also known as the Band of Brothers.The soldiers were stationed in the village in 1943, before engaging in pivotal actions of World War Two - including Operation Overlord, Operation Market Garden and the Ardennes Offensive.
Archaeologist and co-founder of Operation Nightingale Richard Osgood MBE said: "The one thing they all talk about is friendship and building friendships. "The brilliant thing is that we have veterans from Britain and America working side by side... to try and find out about the military forebearers just before D-Day."The dig hopes to find any traces of the military presence in Aldborne's fields - British and American - and any evidence of Easy Company.
