Beny-Sur-Mer War Cemetery

We find Cpl. Francis Weitzel's grave. Ken and I felt we had to leave a picture of Francis there.

The QOR laid another wreath. It was most fitting and special for us that the Last Post was played while we were there.
We got the wreath from the War Graves Commission in Ieper.

More Scenes from Juno Beach

A Dutch sign to remind anyone who may forget.

The re-enactment sets up a display.
As we were boarding our bus another group on its way to the beach to lay a wreath passed us by.

Juno Beach Continued

A view of the beach from the German perspective (inside the pillbox) . This was what they saw as Canadians landed on this strip pf soil.

Touching tributes.
