A commemorative plaque inaugurated at the Château de Vierville

The procession reached Vierville by the road along the sea, welcomed by the population. He stopped in front of the castle gate, which had served as headquarters for the staff of the Fifth Corps of the First American Army during the Battle of the Liberation.

A bronze plate, fixed on the left pillar of the front door, recalled this episode. It was inaugurated by Mr. Le Troquer, welcomed by Mr. Leterrier, mayor. A wine of honor was then served in the courtyard of the castle, before the departure of the authorities for Isigny, the last stage of this day of commemorative pilgrimage.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The name of the mayor reads Leterrier on this small cut; the definition of the scan limits the verification of its spelling.
