#1 Bring the boys home. No reason that a little piece of America need be a part of France.

#2 These are the only soldiers that the brave French would dare attack, dead for over 50 years. They are beyond contempt.

#3 Interesting, last time they attacked British graves, this time British and Commonwealth graves. The French spew venum at the US but don't mess with American graves. Make your own conclusions.

#4 This is vile. I wonder how the people who are doing this think the graves got there to begin with -- some Canadians on a holiday gone terribly wrong, perhaps?

#7 The French Minister for War Veterans, Hamlaoui Mekachera, said: "This is an inexcusable attack on the memory of British, Canadian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in France in the First World War and should rest in peace on our soil." Mr Mekachera said he hoped the police investigation "would swiftly identify the culprits, so they can answer for their acts".

While I too loathe the French, their Minister for War Veterans seems like a stand up sort of guy.
