Many farms in France are situated in the immediate vicinity of WW1 trenches. I'm talking of metres, not miles.
No-one says it's sacrilege.
How can 10 miles be too close to the D-Day landing sites?
In 1942, the British and Canadians carried out the Dieppe raid, which ended with thousands of casualties among the Canadians and British.
There are many places where battles have been fought, but people do not sit down and declare them all "sacred no-go areas".
The memory of the fallen lives on, there are many ways to commemorate, but not by declaring a 10 mile exclusion zone out to sea from a battlefield!
