Remembrance Bench 47th Royal Marine Commando
Remembrance bench for the 47 Royal Marine Commando.
The bench overlooks the outer harbor and offers walkers the opportunity to catch their breath in front of a formidable seascape. The 11 British commandos who died in the attack on the West Cliff on 7 June 1944 are commemorated here.
