It was strange, sitting in the hot August sunshine looking down at children playing on the beach, to think that almost 60 years ago the beach was a battlefield, there was no sadness there that day that we could see, but the rusting remains of the artificial harbour put there by the allies gave a reminder of what had been |
We were very lucky as we sat at the lookout point eating our pic-nic lunch, an American family and their guide arrived and we shared the guides talk about the D Dat landing and the history of Arromanches, if that was your family, thank you very much ! |
