    Originally posted by Jagdpanther44 and discussed with Erich, this memorial stands between Moissy and Chambois on the River Dives in Normandy ( in the very heart of the 'Falaise Gap' ).

    I photographed it last week in perfect Autumn weather :

    Fantastic photos Martin, thank you.

    It looks like you had good weather during your visit.

    I'm hoping to fit in another visit to Normandy before the end of the year and Moissy will be my first stop off point. I just hope the ferry crossing is smooth as i'm not a good sea traveller. :green:
