Description
On the Frence D-day Sword Beach near "La Flame" monument I found growing white wild rose hips on the sand dunes, perfect flowers to commerate the landing and history of British Soldiers during World War ll.
Sword Beach, the easternmost beach of the five landing areas of the Normandy Invasion of World War II, was assaulted on June 6, 1944 (D-Day of the invasion), by units of the British 3rd Division, with French and British commandos attached. Shortly after midnight on D-Day morning, elements of the 6th Airborne Division, in a daring glider-borne assault, seized bridges inland from the beach and also silenced artillery pieces that threatened the seaborne landing forces.
The area code-named Sword Beach occupied a 5 mile stretch of the French coastline from Lion-sur-Mer on the west to the city of Ouistreham, at the mouth of the Orne River, on the east.
Now there stands a monument to these brave forces.
