It has been announced that work is to start at the beginning of 2010 on a new museum dedicated à 'La Grande Guerre 1914-1918' in Saint Lo , Normandy.

gillchadwick Posted 14 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 14 November , 2009 There were Battalions raised in this area who fought on the WW1 Battlefields, as there were from all over France. There is still a lot of local interest in these men , I imagine the new Museum is to Honour their memory and ensure future generations are aware of their sacrifice .
