Canadian War Cemetary at Hautot-sur-Mer

Sign post on the way to the cemetery.

This is the Canadian War Cemetery at Hautot-sur-Mer where the Canadians killed at Dieppe are buried. This cemetery is unique in that it was laid out by the Germans in their traditional pattern of burial after that raid. It was not changed after the war.

It is always moving to read the inscriptions and see the ages of these men or other life storeys on these stones.

Some of the beautiful roses on the graves. The War Graves Commission has a huge botanical component to it. You can check out the perennials and design at the War Graves Commission Look under "Commission Horticulture" near the bottom of the list.

Again the Queens Own Rifles honoured their dead and laid wreaths. George played the last post.

These cattle came a runing when they heard George playing later. So he did it again to watch them come running.

A bit of levity during a long, sobering day.
