An tablet which tells something of the place.
In the main those buried here are men from the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine who crashed on or off the coast and who were in turn cast ashore on Ireland's beaches.
My recollections of it are that it must be one of the most intimate and peaceful places I have visited over the years - it reminds in style of La cambe.
Unfortunately I have not been back in the years in between - opportunity has just not presented , mt eldest lad lives North of Dublin and perhaps when visiting him it might be possible - we will see.
