Extract from the St-Valry-en-Caux Travel Guides:
The first sizeable community west of Dieppe is
ST-VALRY-EN-CAUX
, a rebuilt town which is the clearest reminder of the fighting - and massive destruction - of the Allied retreat of 1940. A monument on the western cliffs pays tribute to the French cavalry division who faced Rommel's tanks on horseback, brandishing their sabres with hopeless heroism, while beside the ruins of a German artillery emplacement on the opposite cliffs another commemorates a Scottish division, rounded up while fighting their way back to Le Havre and the boats home.
