Sad departure from the ship and travel to Paris


Our first stop was at the American WW2 cemetery



The grave of General Patton
This is somewhat controversial as he did not die in the war
He was killed in a traffic accident soon after the end of the war

The rows of graves were moving, but I found this memorial to those who were never found spine chilling.
A very few names were marked with a bronze stud
They were men who have been found since the memorial.  The latest in 2007.
