Roundabout 9th Brigade Authie
Four large red maple leaves are placed on this roundabout. The maple leaf refers to the national symbol of Canada, which appears on the Canadian flag.
These were placed in memory of the 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade, which landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, during Operation Overlord.
