It just so happened that I passed this place on my travels this week. I thought you lads and lasses would appreciate some pictures. Its immaculately kept by British gardeners who must work for the US authority because they had badges on their shirts.

Here are the details...

As we say here

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Yeah these places are always the same. I've also been to the American one in France above Omaha beach. That makes this one look like a postage stamp

I do have photos, but it was before my digital era and they're prints. I'll have to scan them in. Me and my old man used to go on organised battlefield coach tours together before he died in 2008.

=BG=Sgt.Lipton: Not yet.. Everyone is outside I hope. Enjoying the summer. Life is to be enjoyed to the fullest, not spent staring at a computer screen pretending to be something other than you are. Aug 19, 2023 17:48:19 GMT
