147th Combat Engineer Battalion Roll of Honor Monument
Details:
Inside the courtyard of the chateau.
A white, hewn, stone monument with a shield-shape, bronze plaque inset that contains the list of names of those who were honored. The inscription is written in English in raised lettering.
The memorial to the 147th Engineer Battalion was put up by the unit while they were using the chateau as their headquarters during the Normandy invasion. Parts of the memorial are original, including the artillery rounds at the four corners and the stone base. The bronze plaque replaces the original wood plaque.
