    A French child's view of D-Day - upheaval, bombs and chewing gum

    SAINT-LO, France (Reuters) - Marie-Therese Legallois was seven and sitting in school when her teacher suddenly told her class that Allied troops had landed a few miles away on the beaches of Normandy. "The teacher said, 'You must return home because the landing is happening,'" said Legallois, now 87, using the French term Débarquement for what is now known across the English-speaking world as D-Day. As veterans and world leaders prepare to gather in Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of that event, her mind goes back to her and her sister heading back on foot to their home in the village of Conde-sur-Vire and meeting their father half way.
