We took the geocoin with us from Belgium to France, Ermenouville (North Normandie). We placed it at a statue ("Stelle Passant, Arrete-toi ("passer by, stop here") which commemorates the fierce defense of a French army unit in 1940 to allow French and Scottish army units to disembark in St Valery-en-Caux- June 11/12 (10 km away from Ermenouville). Some 3.000 British and French soldiers managed to get away on 30 British and Belgian vessels at the small port of Valery, under heavy German fire.
Note: this was approx 10. days after the well know disembarkation at Dunkerque (where 300.000 soldiers got away).
