This memorial, the Cross of Lorraine, is near the Juno Beach Center, one of the British landing sites on D-Day, June 6, 1944. It marks the place where the Free French troops and General De Gaulle came ashore on D-Day.

On June 6, 1944, this was Sword Beach, one of the British landing sites. Visiting the beach today it is difficult to imagine that it was the site of a pitched battle, the beach filled with soldiers and all the equipment of war and the sea filled with ships of every kind.
