A banknote discovered after 63 years in a vintage van at Llangollen Motor Museum has sparked a mystery stretching back to the D-Day landings.
The five-franc note - with the date of the landings written on it and found with an empty cigarette packet - could have been part of a survival kit issued to soldiers in the 1944 Normandy landings, says BBC Local News.
Meanwhile, today's Western Mail adds to the intrigue by saying the note was found in Citroen delivery van which ended up in the museum after spending most of Second World War in a French barn, hidden from the occupying Germans.
