Bayeux War Cemetery

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:04:36

The largest of the 18 Commonwealth military cemeteries in Normandy, this peaceful cemetery contains 4848 graves of soldiers from the UK and 10 other countries, including a few from Germany. Across the road is a memorial to 1807 Commonwealth soldiers whose remains were never found; the Latin inscription across the top reads: ‘We, once conquered by William, have now liberated the Conqueror’s native land’.
