EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures US Cemetery Marker Number 1 at St. Mere Eglise in Normandy, France. Established in the aftermath of the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, this cemetery was one of the first permanent burial sites for American soldiers who lost their lives during the invasion. With over 3,000 soldiers buried here, it was originally one of eight battlefield cemeteries, but by June 10, these were consolidated into five larger cemeteries - St. Laurent (Omaha), Blosville, La Cambe, Orglandes, and this one at St. Mere Eglise. The marker stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the American troops who helped turn the tide of the war in Europe. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a powerful reminder of the cost of freedom and the enduring bond between the United States and France in the annals of military history.
