Commando Commemorates Fallen Hamel List Marble Marines Normandy Unusually Rots
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant black marble memorial at Rots, Normandy, commemorates the brave 46 Royal Marines Commando soldiers who lost their lives during the intense fighting in Rots and Le Hamel on 11 June 1944. The unusual inclusion of the fallen soldiers' ages adds a profound personal touch to this moving tribute. The 46th Commando was part of the 4 Special Services Brigade, headquartered at Sallenelles, and played a crucial role in the D-Day landings during World War II. The battle for Rots and Le Hamel was a fierce and bloody encounter, with the Commando unit facing heavy German resistance as they advanced inland from the beaches. The memorial, which is situated near the site of the fighting, serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifice made by these brave men. Their ages, etched into the marble, bring home the reality of the human cost of war, and the devastating impact it had on families and communities. The 46 Royal Marines Commando Memorial is a powerful testament to the courage and determination of those who fought in the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy. It stands as a lasting tribute to the fallen, and a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the armed forces throughout history.
