Il y a 70 ans...
Il y a 70 ans les journées du 17 et 18 Aout 1944 furent le théâtre de combats pour la libération de notre région et de notre commune de Sainte opportune par les troupes anglaises.
Only those who have loved and lost, can understand war's bitter cost.
Oh for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice so still.
When days are dark and friends are few,
My Dear Son, How I long for you.......
No dear one's stood beside him to hear his last farewell.
While he lies in silent sleep, his memory we will always keep"
près d'un bâtiment à Landigou, un officier du"Hereforshire" consultait sa carte et préparait l'attaque sur Ste opportune pour sa libération.
"These deeds which should not pass away. Names that must not wither.
The Last Post sounded, the soldier sleeps who died in honour.Only those who have loved and lost, can understand war's bitter cost.
Oh for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice so still.
When days are dark and friends are few,
My Dear Son, How I long for you.......
No dear one's stood beside him to hear his last farewell.
While he lies in silent sleep, his memory we will always keep"
