Description: British army vehicles, notably four Foden 10-ton lorries from a 21st Army RASC unit, head through the streets of Bayeux in the immediate vicinity of its cathedral. Allied military personnel, in particular several American WACs, British naval officers and Free French servicemen, are seen entering and leaving the Cathedral de Notre Dame after a religious service and standing on a street corner as military vehicles roll by. Clearly visible is a Michelin road sign giving the directions to Caen and Paris (both cities still in German hands) for heavy vehicles.
