beny-sur-mer canadian war cemetery印象

Having grown up in metro Detroit and having a cottage in Canada makes me biased towards this memorial... However, I believe this is very important stop for anyone visiting Normandy. The cemetery is deeply emotional because of the individual statements from the families of the deceased which are written on each head stone. The cemetery is located in the beautiful rolling Normandy countryside. It's easily accessed to and from the Normandy beaches. I strongly encourage my American country men to visit this fine memorial and pay tribute to our Canadian brothers who began the fight two years before we did.

We were searching for a friend's relative, who turned out not to be at this cemetery, but we were still glad we visited. In the portico, there is a book where you can look up by name the person for whom you are searching. There was only one other car here when we visited, so it is a very quiet, peaceful cemetery.

Of all 4 cemeteries we visited found this one to be the most peaceful in its setting off the beaten track with distant sea views

A fitting tribute to all the Canadians who fell in the D-Day invasion of the Atlantic Wall. We visited in August 2014, just after the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The cemetery is immaculately maintained, down the the planting between stones and the grass trimming. You can wonder through the rows of the fallen and read the names and rank for most. Makes you proud to be Canadian and also know that we will never forget their contributions to our nation.Be sure to sign the guest book located in the right side archway, just before the tomb stones.

So many young men, gone too soon but never forgotten. Hopefully mankind has learned and another world war will never happen again.

The cemetery is in one corner of a farmers field. Not a sound can be heard and it is the perfect setting for paying our respects. The grounds are meticulous and there is a registry in one of the side viewing areas, in a little niche with a cross on it.

I was on a Canadian battlefields tour of World War I & World War II. A very beautiful resting place for our Canadian soldiers who died in and around Jun 6th, 1944.There are about 2,048 soldiers buried: four from Britain, one from France and the rest Canadian.You'll see most gravestones contain the ages of the soldiers. so young and yet so much to live for. The ages range from about 17 to 47. There are 7 sets of brothers, and one set of three brothers.The area surrounding the cemetery is peaceful, quiet and beautiful.Every Canadian should visit this at least once to pay their respects and give thanks to those who put their lives on the line for our freedom today.I can't recommend how long you stay here. It's up to you. I think our group was about 45 minutes to an hour.There is a book of remembrance you can sign before you leave.

Great place to visit. Highly recommended, every Canadian should try and make a pilgrimage if they can. These Canadians sacrificed themselves for us 70 years ago. Surreal... better than the textbooks. Very tranquil. On the beautiful Caen countryside. Wish I could have stayed longer. Only had about 1 hour of time to be there... would go back for sure.

My uncle was buried here after having been a casualty during the battles that surrounded Caen. His wife - my aunt, never remarried but raised 2 young children on her own. She was a pillar of both strength and endurance yet had a compassion for every living thing and person. When she died, many inquiries were made, some strings were pulled and eventually a portion of her ashes were interned in Beny-sur-Mer. God bless you both.
