Bruneval Memorial, Normandy, France
View Original Description
On the night of February 27th - 28th 1942, 120 British soldiers from the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment were dropped over the Cap d'Antifer to carry out and assault on a radar station. Operation Biting - the first airborne operation carried out by the Allies in occupied France - was a success. A new memorial, inaugurated in 2012 in the commune of Saint-Jouin-Bruneval, pays tribute to these heroes.
