A very moving picture Lurker.

Are those the graves of Frenchmen who covered the backs of the English as they retreated across the Channel?

When I warned them [France] that Britain would fight on alone, their Chief [General Weygand] told their Prime Minister that in three weeks, England would have her neck wrung like a chicken - Some chicken! Some neck! - Winston Churchill, December 30, 1941

The French were covering no one's back, madamoiselle. Crawl back under the rock from whence you came.

Actually, they are the graves of American 1st Army Division soldiers who died saving France from Germany.

Thank God BlackJack Pershing refused to put those men under French command.
