A very moving but a beautiful & peaceful last resting place for those who lost their lives in the Battle for Normandy. I was in tears in front of my teenage son with the enormity of the loss of life and I find it hard for those buried whose name is not known. As I was walking through the cemetery, I noticed a grave with a distinctive surname which is in my family. Without initially realising it, I had discovered the grave of a previously unknown third cousin and it was afterwards when I researched F A Deeming that I realised that Frederick Alfred Deeming was a relation - He has now been added to my family tree so he will continue to be remembered. Free to visit.

Very emotional experience ? A beautiful, well-kept, Cemetery. A credit to all who dedicate their lives to those who paid with their lives for a better future for us all.

Worth seeing, if anything to pay respect to all of the fallen. Beautifully kept and we found many of the tombstones to be very personal and moving.

We went more for my husband since he loves historical sites, but ended up being a very great experience for the both of us. When you see the ages of the men on the tombstones and the messages from the families, it really makes you think of what everyone involved went through and realize what they sacrificed. Very emotional visit and it is definitely worth making a stop.

In many ways this cemetery is far more moving than the US cemetery at Omaha Beach (although it's not a competition).The setting is not as grand, but the age and the personal messages on the tombstones from surviving family members are very very moving.
