Memorial and bridge at Bretenoux

    The bridge at Bretenoux over the river Cère on the D940. The view is from the north bank looking into the village over the river. The church with the monument listing all the names of the those killed on 9th June is a little further on, behind the houses on the left of view. The inscription on the monument in this view reads, "Here on the 9th June 1944, 20 young volunteers of the F.F.I. fell in combat." (see: Notes on Language and Terms used, for meaning of F.F.I.)
