Stele commemorating the Liberation of the Left Bank

Text on the Stele facing the Saint-Etienne church of the Men's Abbey "Here on July 9, 1944, the French flag was raised for the first time in four years over battle-scarred Caen. Remember a sacrifice of those who liberated us: British, Canadians, French of the Resistance of the French Forces de l'Intérieur of the Compagnie Scamaroni, and all those who perished during the bataille de Caen"
