A small museum in Souleuvre en Bocage, dedicated to the British troops taking part in Operation Bluecoat.

More discreet than others, but no less instructive and, what's more, run by volunteers, this museum pays tribute to the British troops who took part in Operation Bluecoat from July 30 to August 7, 1944. A key operation in the Battle of Normandy, this breakthrough enabled the encirclement of the German 7th Army in the Falaise Pocket. The small museum opened in 1983 in the attic of the village school, at the instigation of Jean Ménard, a local resident who lived through the Occupation.

A very moving museum. Great exhibits which brought history to life. I especially liked the way the information was presented- relating the stories if individuals involved in the liberation. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English.
