Summary
[edit]DescriptionCanadian-Cross-61.jpg |
English: In early 1944 prior to the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, the 3rd Division of the Canadian Army was encamped in this part of the New Forest, reflected now by several local place names with the word Canada in them. A large wooden cross was erected here by Canadian troops where they held open-air church services until they embarked for the invasion. These men of the 3rd Canadian Division were the first wave assault troops to land on Juno Beach where they suffered heavy casualties. The Canadian Army never returned here, but the cross still survives, known locally as the Canadian Cross, maintained by local people, the Forestry Commission and latterly, the New Forest National Park Authority. The only change made has been the erection of a small gated rustic boundary fence intended to prevent New Forest wild ponies and the deer from eating the flowers placed at the foot of the cross by local people. Photographed on a very cold 30th January morning with remnants of frost still apparent on the wreaths laid at the annual service here on 11th November 2009. The bronze plaque at the foot of the cross is inscribed: |
