Door 11

Entrance to the park dedicated to WW1 soldiers who died for the Right and the Liberty.
It is mentioned to be silent and asked to medit and pray for them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the other side of the entrance you can read this explicative panel :



It is said :
"You enter a Franco-American Cemetery.
This is the final resting place of 68 pilots who sacrificed their lives
to defend our freedom during WWI.
The Memorial and Park are dedicated to their memory."

Perfect mood for your B&W. War monuments are so sad. Thank you for the translation. V
