Saint-Cyr officer students received at Vierville Castle

A hundred student officers from Saint-Cyr and Coëtquidan were welcomed by the owners of the castle of Vierville after climbing the Pointe du Hoc and gathering at the American cemetery in Colleville.

At the end of a speech to his men, Commander Boissié handed a Saint-Cyr scarf to Mrs. Hausermann. Mr. Rivers, Superintendent of Colleville Cemetery, also received a gift in gratitude for his welcome.

Present at this reception, Raymond Triboulet, president of the Landing Committee, encouraged future officers in the missions that awaited them.
