This is an out of the way memorial at the top of the hill, which is actually on top of a German bunker. We had a personal reason to visit as my husband's uncle was a member of this unit and took part in the D-day landings. Sadly he passed away last year aged 99 years and we were emotional to discover his photo on display in the town. There are information panels around the town about the part that the 47 Royal Marine Commando unit played in the liberation of the town and there is a memorial bench to those who lost their lives just further down the hill. Worth coming here for the wonderful views. WN57 Port en Bessin and Mémorial 47th Royal Marine Commando. Remembering the facts occured in June 1944 when the British commando fought in this town against German troops. Humbling place. Read the story of 4 7 commando royal marines and their bravery displayed in taking the Port and surrounding areas in 1944. A simple monument to a monumental effort by the 47th Royal Marine Commandos. Beautiful view. Stumbled upon it on a morning walk. Would not prioritize over over ww2 sights like point du hoc, but it was a good spot to look out over the town for a nice morning or evening walk. Klein maar indrukwekkend monument. Gelegen op een bunker, boven op de rotsen met uitzicht over de haven, voel je de geschiedenis en de zware strijd die hier is geleverd. De bunker zelf is nog steeds te bezoeken, en het wordt meteen duidelijk waarom men destijds niet koos voor een frontale aanval, maar voor een commandoactie: de hele haveningang werd bewaakt vanuit deze positie. Niet groot, maar zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Hats off to 47 Commando I Just walked up the road from Port en Bassin and that was quite a walk 1 in 4,God know what it was like loaded with battle gear and people trying to kill you.Do we bread men like that anymore ? Visited this location today via a walk down to Port en Bessin. Located on a cliff edge,next to Omaha golf course. If you are interested take a look, if you’re not, go anyway, you will become interested! Mooi uizicht over de haven van Port en Bessin. superbe vu pour rendre hommage aux hommes qui se dont battu pour notre liberté This spot contains a memorial of the 47 Royal Marine Commandos assault on Port-En-Bessin. The memorial has a nice recounting of the battle as well as a German pillbox emplacement. Great view of the surrounding area and the village and port of Port en Bessin-Huppain Prachtige vermoeiende klimwandeling langs de vreemdste vuurtoren 🤣 Schöne Aussicht die sich lohnt. Unten leider ein wenig dreckig aber das hat man ja leider immer wieder bei frei zugänglichen Ruinen. Ein Spaziergang vom Campingplatz dadrüber in das schöne Fischerdorf lohnt sich allemal.
