The villagers of Buriton are one of many to remember those that never returned from beaches of Normandy in France, eighty years ago.

Doug Jones Chair of the Buriton Village Association tells us about the special memorial for Canadian troops. Jo Gray also hears from Keith Passingham who remembers the Canadian visitors as a schoolboy at the time.

If you have any information about the Canadian troops that camped in Buriton please email doug.pam@btinternet.com to help inform the history of their time in the village.
