Comment

The entrance to the museum is flanked on one side by flagpoles bearing the flags of the main countries involved in the Battle of Normandy, and on the other by a display case showing the twelve "first stones" of the edifice, extracted from their soil by each of the twelve nations involved, and adorned with a lapidary inscription in each of their languages. The Norwegian stone differs from the others in that it has not been cut and was offered still covered in moss, as a symbol of absolute respect for life. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mémorial_de_Caen
