The British Cemetry in Hermanville

The service in memory of the Third Division was followed by a march down to the British Cemetry in Hermanville. It was a sheltered spot, with sunshine filtering down through the trees, almost magical. Local children sang both national anthems, and then, with great care and respect, placed flowers on the graves, accompanied by the piper.

A tranquil evening. An opportunity to walk in quiet contemplation among the graves, and to share stories and experiences.

And then, on the way out, George spotted a vehicle he drove during the war. Tonight though, he wasn't allowed even a test drive.
