EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts Memorial 147, dedicated to the US Engineer Combat Battalion who played a pivotal role during the D-Day landings of World War II. The memorial stands proudly in the grounds of Chateau d'Englesqueville, located on the D514 road behind Omaha Beach. In 1944, this scenic area was transformed into a bustling camp filled with tents and equipment of the American engineers, who worked tirelessly to clear minefields, build bridges, and improve the infrastructure to support the advancing Allied forces. The memorial was originally dedicated on June 6, 1944, the very day of the D-Day invasion, but was re-dedicated on June 6, 1994, to honor the sacrifices and achievements of the 147th US Engineer Combat Battalion. The memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who contributed to the success of the Allied forces during the Second World War. The Chateau d'Englesqueville grounds, with their rich history and beautiful surroundings, offer a moving and educational experience for visitors, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the significant role played by the US Engineer Combat Battalion in the liberation of Europe.
