Description
On the back of this photograph, Chuck Morrison writes:
The cemetary at St Marie Eglise Normandy, taken over a year after the invasion, the French have planted grass and have cared for a large number of graves, it is the duty of every man woman and child to care for a grave each day. So said a proclamation issued to the village of St Marie Eglise. This was known as "Jayhawk" Cemetary in the early days of the war. Mostly all Paratroops are buried here.
