One of these old bullet scarred German bunkers remains, renamed "Place du Canada."   The Queen's Own Rifles  memorial plaque describes the battle that day which and asks you to try to imagine what it was like.  

The trouble was I couldn't and suspected that only those actually there could ever grasp what took place.  I took a deep breath.  The salt spray smelled of the iodine rich seaweed strewn on the beach, the surf crashed and roared, and the grey-green sea was empty of  the madness of men.
