Comment
An emotional moment at the Ouistreham museum: a Bailey Bridge panel was installed by 6 British officers in tribute to Bob Orrell, a veteran who died a few days after the commemorations of the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Https://lelieutenantboborrell.blogspot.com/2008/01/un-panneau-du-pont-bailey-au-grand.html"Honi soit qui mal y pense" is an Anglo-Norman motto. It is the motto of the Order of the Garter, the most important order of British chivalry. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honi_soit_qui_mal_y_pense
