This cermony is at a monument just outside the village of Anguerny. The event we were attending was a civic cermony dedicating a Monument to the Queens Own rifles of Canada.
More reenactment groups , this time French citizens in Canadian regiments' uniforms.
These are some of the mementos left by the students. There were a whole group of students working with one teacher . His students wrote poems, songs and did the dedication itself. We were there quite some time. I was impressed by the intensity the students had for this. There were many heartfelt tears as they talked about 'young men coming to a strange land to fight for their (the French) freedom' .
