    Canadian War Cemetery in Normandy

    It was impossible to leave Normandy without visiting one of the ww2 sites.

    The experience was intense and heart crushing.

    I will let the photos speak for themselves.


    Best,

    Robert

    Robert, Thank you for posting these pictures. This should serve as a reminder for all that freedom is not free. On A lighter note I do like the jacket that you are wearing. Very Approate for the suroundings.

    Having visited one near Caen I agree they are very moving places.

    Il me semble que dans une des paroisses du doyenné de Thiberville il se trouve un "mini" cimetière militaire canadien.

    De mémoire, une histoire que l'on m'a raconté enfant, un avion canadien se serait écrasé dans un champ à proximité de l'église.

    Pour plus de détails, il faudrait voir avec mon père. Et oui, toujours ma mémoire "de poisson rouge"...

    Amicalement.
