点评:When my friends and I visited, the Walking with Giants memorial display had been reinstalled to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the 1475 fallen British and 177 French marines that died on D-Day. Each figure represents one fallen soldier and remembers, 80 years on, the sacrifice they made.
The Memorial itself, is large but simple in design and records the names of the 22,442 servicemen and women under British command who fell on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy in the summer of 1944.
It includes people from over 30 different countries. Inscribed in stone, the names were brought together overlooking Gold Beach. The site also has a French Memorial, dedicated to the memory of French civilians who died during this period. There is a large car park on site which has a small charge. It also has a small shop and cafe.
翻译:我和朋友去参观的时候,“与巨人同行”纪念展已经重新布置,以纪念在诺曼底登陆战中阵亡的 1475 名英国海军陆战队员和 177 名法国海军陆战队员 80 周年。每个人物都代表一名阵亡士兵,在 80 年后的今天,铭记他们所做出的牺牲。
纪念碑本身很大,但设计简洁,记录了在诺曼底登陆战和 1944 年夏天诺曼底战役中阵亡的 22,442 名英国男女军人的名字。
这些士兵来自 30 多个国家。这些名字被刻在石头上,在黄金海滩对面汇集在一起。现场还有一座法国纪念碑,纪念在这段时期牺牲的法国平民。现场有一个大型停车场,收费不高。这里还有一家小商店和一家咖啡馆。
