Juno Beach Center and Monument to Charles de Gaulle
According to the Juno Beach Center website / https://www.junobeach.org/ “the Juno Beach Centre is Canada’s Second World War museum and cultural centre located in Normandy, France. The Centre pays homage to the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives during the War, of which 5,500 were killed during the Battle of Normandy and 381 on D-Day. Opened in 2003 by veterans and volunteers with a vision to create a permanent memorial to all Canadians who served during the Second World War, the Centre’s mandate is to preserve this legacy for future generations through education and remembrance. Near the Juno Beach Center there is the Commemorating Cross of Lorraine where Général Charles de Gaulle landed on Juno Beach, 1944 June the 14th, between Graye-sur-Mer et Courseulles-sur-Mer from the torpedo boat "La Combattante"." These photos were taken in August 2023.
