The fierce battles in Normandy, both in the First World War, and again in the 1940's, which resulted in so much carnage and waste of young lives has always seemed so sad to me. However, to go and see the miles and miles of white crosses, each marking someone's loved one last resting place - and all so young - was very, very sobering.

| The Chapel of Rest - a permanent memorial and a quiet place to remember. |
