Monument 79th Infantry Division

Memorial to the 79th U.S. Infantry Division, which landed on Utah Beach on June 14, 1944, paid a heavy price at Haye du Puits, and advanced as far as Eastern Europe ... This division had already arrived in France in 1917, and after heavy fighting and losses, earned its Cross of Lorraine (worn on the left sleeve of uniforms). Photo credit Christine Guillon
