BENOUVILLE MATERNITY HOME - The babies are baptised in the chapel attached to the hospital. In these pictures Abba Saint, Jean, cure of Bhainville, Calvados, is baptisting some of the newly born babies in the chapel. The babies are held by nurses and other mothers, as their own are still unable to get out of bed. All the time this ceremony was taking place guns were firing and the windows of the chapel were rattling. Photographic negative , British Army, 21st Army Group
