Tony B Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 salem Farm is the smalest cemetery in Normandy. Just on teh outskirts of Tilley Sur Seulles. Behind the cemetery is teh farm that was an advanced dressing station. From June 8th to the 18th 1944 the villiage lost 1 in 10 of it's population. The farm is 16th century and now produces the finest Calavados in Normandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder44 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Quite a place isn't it? Did you see the grave of a 16 year old DLI soldier there. So sad to see such a young lad laid to rest. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
