Yes, the memorial is well worth a visit. It’s a must-see if you’re a history buff<\/strong>, just a 10-minute drive from Juno Beach heading west towards Gold Beach. It pays tribute to the 22,442 Commonwealth soldiers<\/strong> who lost their lives during the D-Day landings on June 6 1944 and the Battle of Normandy. Every stage of the operations led by British General Montgomery<\/strong> is recorded on this almost ceremonial site.<\/p>\n\n

Right at the start of our visit, we discovered the Chemin de M\u00e9moire steles<\/strong>, standing proudly at the edge of the driveway. Each is dedicated to the D-Day landings<\/strong>, from June 6, 1944 to August 31. It’s a time to take the time to read and understand this historic operation.<\/p>\n\n

At the very end of the Chemin de M\u00e9moire, we noticed two<\/strong> additional, more imposing<\/strong> steles<\/strong>. They are framed by the French and British flags. These summarize D-Day<\/strong>, in English on the left, in French on the right.<\/p>\n\n
