EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Plaque to Cruiser Montcalm, proudly displayed at Port en Bessin in Normandy, France. The Montcalm was one of the three cruisers in Bombarding Force C, a crucial component of the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The Montcalm and her sister ships provided essential fire support for the American landings on Omaha Beach, helping to clear a path for the troops and paving the way for the successful establishment of a foothold in Europe. Following the D-Day landings, the Free French Ship Montcalm continued to serve in the Mediterranean, participating in various operations to help liberate Europe from the grip of the Axis powers. The cruiser's bravery and contributions to the Allied cause are commemorated with this plaque, which stands as a testament to the Montcalm's historic role in World War II. The Montcalm's legacy extends beyond the battlefield, as it represents the unwavering commitment of the Free French forces to the Allied cause. The cruiser's involvement in the Normandy landings was a turning point in the war, and its actions helped to shape the course of history. This poignant plaque serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served aboard the Montcalm and the other ships of Bombarding Force C, as well as the broader Allied effort to secure victory in World War II.
