Cimetière Militaire de Cambes-en-Plaine

RESPECT TO YOU ALL WHO GAVE US A LIFE TO LIVE THANK YOU

My wife and I had the privilege of accompanying my Grandfather to retrace his WWII Normandy landing. Landing at Sword beach his objective was to take Caen. He didn't make it to Caen as he took a hit in nr Cambes Wood which ended his war. He wanted to return and pay his respects to his pals who were less fortunate than him. The War cemetery at Cambes-en-Plaine is peaceful, ensuring the incredible effort and bravery of the 3rd Division and the Royal Ulster Rifles will never be forgotten.

Too good in life to be forgotten in death Row E 13.

Thank you for your sacrifice I hope it will never be forgotten

Situé à 6 kilomètres de Caen, ce petit cimetière militaire britannique regroupe les dépouilles de 224 soldats, ayant combattu pour la libération de Caen en 1944 (juillet et août). Les épitaphes gravées sur les stèles tombales sont particulièrement émouvantes.
