Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

hi, not been on the forum for a while because of moving house.

we now live in lower (south) Normandy,

during the summer i intend to take days out to visit some of the war sites, graves & memorials of the region, if anyone wants a photo taking of any of them please let me know, if it is a grave could you say which cemetary, row etc as some are sadly very very big places.

as we have driven around we have also noticed many small memorials, some to a single soldier, some seem almost personal as they are in gardens or at the side of the road or crossroad in villages, to anyone who lost someone in the WW2 i can assure them the people of Normandy have not forgotten.
bye

Hi Salee, Id be interested in obtaining photographs of the following headstones.

RANVILLE WAR CEMETERY
GILLATT, REGINALD, 4546128 – Grave - IVA. G. 13.
GREEN, HARRY ALFRED, 7622507 – Grave IIA. K. 11.

Both men where casualties of the 13th Parachute Battalion, which had been formed from the 2/4th South Lancashire Regiment.

ST. DESIR WAR CEMETERY
MAUNTON, EDWARD STANLEY, 3656600 – Grave III. A. 4.

Private Maunton, was originally from Liverpool, and enlisted with the South Lancs regiment before being transferred to the 1/4th King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

The rest of my outstanding casualties are relating to the action around Dunkirk in 1940, or the South of France

Regards
Phil
