Quiet country roads lead to this small cemetery for approximately 630 British soldiers who died in WWII.

This is a survivor from World War 2: an historic artefact still in daily use.

A moving combination of wartime artefacts and modern outdoor sculpture, including one of a present day WW2 veteran looking at an image of himself as a soldier in 1944.

The still well-preserved bunkers of the Atlantic Wall.

Here you can find an experienced cyclist who travels both within the city walls and outside on his bike... named Brother Bernard the cyclist of Mondaye... participating in the French clergy cycling championship on May 1st... while exercising his role as a caregiver especially for the elderly... With joy to meet cyclists passing through...

As a memorial to the countless war dead, such a "Cimetiere militaire" - in German they are usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery" - is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of soldiers' cemeteries or cemeteries of honor or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and to remind each generation anew (!) of the need to maintain lasting peace.

On June 15, 1944, the P-47 of 2nd Lieutenant Chester G. ULRICH crashed a few meters from this memorial, while returning from a mission to La-Haye-du-Puits.
