The second release of Virtual Rewards were awarded at the beginning of June 2019, just as the celebrations for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day were taking place, hence the subject of this cache.
When you arrive at the published co-ordinates you should be looking at the Normandy Memorial Wall as shown in the picture below:
The Normandy Memorial Wall commemorates the lives of men and women from all nations and arms of service who took part in or supported the Normandy campaign between D-Day on 6 June 1944 and 21 August 1944.
Its purpose is to pay tribute to the generation that took part, while ensuring that their story is kept alive.
The steel monoliths that stand before the wall are symbolic, being proud and upright, like the veterans of D-Day and the subsequent campaign.
The steel is simple, humble and uncomplicated, reflecting the everyday lives and backgrounds of those who took part. Raw and exposed, the monoliths represent the agony and exposure of conflict.
The strength of the steel is symbolic of the determination to always remember and honour the sacrifice and commitment of that generation.
Time may age them, but just like the memories of the Normandy campaign, they will never change. They will never be polished or dressed – to do so might romanticise the personal impact of the war and the Normandy campaign.
The word on each monolith is ‘Remember’ translated into the principal language of those who took part.
Claiming the cache as a find.
To claim the cache you will need to answer the following question.
In order, East to West, name the language the word 'Remember' is translated into on each of the monoliths?
There are eight monoliths, but you will require ten languages (see hint); take the first letter of each langauage and combine into a ten letter "word".
Enter this TEN LETTER "WORD" into
