France - Normandy Day 2 - Commonwealth Cemetery

 The Commonwealth Cemetery is the largest in France. It has graves from all of the countries that served under Britain.
 The motto on the arch across from the cemetery translates to "We, once conquered by William, have now set free the Conqueror’s native land.”
 The building seen here has a book where you can look up names in order to find the location they are buried.
The cemetery includes several from my Grandfather's regiment, the North Shore Regiment.
