Another beautifully kept cemetery full of brave souls from WWII. Sit and pay your respects.

An incredibly moving place to visit. It manages to convey both the scale of the losses suffered by British and Commonwealth forces, but it is also intensely personal due to the personal messages from family members on all the headstones. The grounds and graves are immaculately kept with each grave also having plants and flowers from the UK growing just in front. It brings tears to my eyes just writing this review.

Visited on a rainy and bleak weather day. The cemetery is so well kept. A credit to CWGC staff. Whilst there we spoke with the ground’s staff who were so detailed and careful in their work. Cutting sharp edges to each headstone, clearing leaves and debris. Carefully Polishing the bright work of plaques and records vaults. One particular story had me choked up. (I’m ex Para) 9th Battalion, Private Emile Corteil a young 19yrs Paratrooper who accompanied by his beautiful dog Glen landed on 6th July 1944. Both safe landing but later both were killed. They are buried together. So sad. So young but have each other in life and death. The inscription broke me. It says, Had you known our boy you would have loved him too.

Worth a visit. Made me realise and understand even more the importance of D-day for European freedom.

Well maintained cemetery. Worth visiting to think about all those who had to die to bring peace to the world. Lest we forget.
