This is a video of the American Cemetery and Memorial in Normandy. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France is located on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 and the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,387 of US military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. On the Walls of the Missing, in a semicircular garden on the east side of the memorial, are inscribed 1,557 names.
The visitors brochure can be found at
The US and Germans place their dead in a few large sites. The British place their and Commonwealth dead in smaller sites. I'll leave the viewer to decide which is the nest approach - they are all both beautiful and sad places of rest for those who died for us. I've posted vids of Cemetery's from all three countries. For other vids of these and other D-Day sites search on g4shf D-Day.

Captain Keith Castellain Douglas, - An English World War II poet who took part in the D-Day invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, at the age of 24, died in France a few days after the Normandy landings.

Born: 1920
Killed: 1944
Aged 24
Keith Douglas was born in Tunbridge Wells and educated at Christ's Hospital and Oxford. He served in North Africa during World War Two where he was injured by a land-mine and transferred home. Recovered, he returned to active duty to take part in the invasion of Normandy in 1944. His war poetry shows clearly painted imagery without mournful sentiment. His poem Desert Flowers pays homage to Isaac Rosenberg.

Douglas described his poetic style as 'extrospective'; that is, he focused on external impressions rather than inner emotions. The result is a poetry which, according to his detractors, can be callous in the midst of war's atrocities. For others, Douglas's work is powerful and unsettling because its exact descriptions eschew egotism and shift the burden of emotion from the poet to the reader. His best poetry is generally considered to rank alongside the twentieth-century's finest soldier-poetry.
