The Meier's German Adventure

On the way to Chartres we saw a sign on the autobahn for an American cemetery - so we decided to pay it a visit. It lies just outside the small town of St. James (Manche). While driving through the town looking for it, we pulled over and I asked, in my very best French, an elderly woman where the American cemetery was - she got a big smile and vaguely told me what direction to head. She must have been a child during the war and remembers the American sacrifice. We found it -the Brittany American Cemetery.
