RE: Visitng a muder location at Greenway, Devon , UK

Wow - looks like a fantastic place to visit. The connection to the book makes it all the more interesting, and I loved the mural in the library wall, what a great story !

Apparently, there's lot more to that story with the US Coast Guard operation in the area. The volunteer told me about Excercise Tiger where over 900 US servicemen died in a training exercise before D Day, but their deaths were kept secret until long after the war when they were given proper recognition and memorial.

Wow - that sounds like an awful tragedy.
