A new memorial is erected in what is left of Lebisey Wood to honour the 154 Royal Warwickshire regiment soliders who were killed and wounded on 7 June 1944. It was one of the battalion's fiercest encounters of their Normandy campaign due to the strength of German opposition.

Early in the morning of D-Day plus one, the battalion was called into action to clear the remaining suburbs of Benouville before attacking south, capturing Lebisey Wood and the accompanying village which sat on a hill overlooking the city of Caen.

Reporter Richard Williams met Jason Woods to talk about the new bench and why it is so important to remember.
