| When the 90th Division went ashore 2 days after D-Day, it was not ready for ferocious combat in the bocage. |
| However, D day planners failed to anticipate the difficulties of the Normandy bocage. |
| It is bocage country, still densely wooded, with small pastures intersected by deep leafy lanes. |
| The treacherous bocage, the countryside criss-crossed by sunken lanes between high hedgerows, was a killing ground for the German defenders. |
| In July 1944 his army was held up between the beaches and the bocage in Normandy. |
| There was a sprinkling of roadside crosses and the bocage, the thick hedges along the roadsides, could hardly have been more bosky. |
