Day Three - Mixed Emotions

My part of the holiday was visiting St Nazaire. Coming from Falmouth where the Greatest Raid Of All set out from we have our own memorial and annual service. I was keen to see the French equivalent and I have to say I was a little underwhelmed.
The original monument in Falmouth was a lump of granite with a plaque set into it against the railings in the Gas Works car park. This, the French equivalent, is a little larger lump of granite bearing the names of those killed.
The photographs also show one of HMS Campbletown's guns along with the monument to HMT Lancastria, the troopship lost off St Nazaire with the loss of 4,000 troops.

Elsewhere we visited the U Boat pens, the France Line Museum and the French submarine Samond, coffee now and again, couple of beers and back to the campsite.
Del and his daughter Charley caught up with us in time for dinner, a few beers and some chat.
We set off for Birraitz following breakfast in the morning.
