Normandy, North, South, East and West, has numerous war cemeteries,
mostly from World War Two but also from World War One.The coastline of
western Normandy, through the history of one pivotal day - D-Day June 6th
1944, has made it one of the most visited tourist destinations in Europe.
Along the coast are found several war cemeteries that are well known
andeasily accessible. The Normandy American Cemetery, above Omaha
beach, averages around 1.5 million visitors a year. Nearby, the
Commonwealth cemeteries of Bayeux, Bény-sur-Mer and Ranville, as well
as the German war cemetery atLa Cambe, are also busy places in the
summer months.For seven months Nigel travelled to all corners of Normandy
to photograph these cemeteries.The book helps the reader locate andvisit
not just those well known warcemeteries, but also those which are less well
known, more numerous. GPS coordinates are included inside this book,
alongside each war cemetery described.As well as photographs of these
well maintained resting places of young combatants, several individuals
from different nations are featured to emphasize the stories of young lives
from the different countries.These cemeteries have matured into gardens,
beautifully maintained by thedifferent Commissions. Peaceful places...such
a contrast to what created them.Lest we forget.
