Stele text:

Army General Omar N.Bardley

Commander of the First US. Army"

Stayed from July 2 to August 2, 1944.


760 men and officers slept in tents near this orchard, while the general had a caravan truck at his disposal.

On July 20, he gave a lecture at the American press camp at Château de Vouilly, where he presented the plans for the Avranches breakthrough.

This led up to Operation Cobra on July 25, 1944, which enabled us to reach Brittany and continue the battle all the way to Paris.
