D-Day June 6th 1944

On this very day in 1944, Allied Forces, spearheaded by Airborne Pathfinders, stormed the beaches of Normandy, France as Operation Overlord began, to begin the Liberation of Nazi-Occupied Europe.


My father was part of this Offensive, with the British 1st Armoured Division.


This campaign brought about the final destruction of Nazi-Germany and is the very reason we are able to enjoy the freedoms we enjoy - and that many abuse - today.


To all those that lost their lives on the beaches and during the breakout - we owe you so much.


We Will Remember Them.

    I agree, today is a great day in the History of our once Great Nation, It is also one of the saddest.

    So many died, so many injured and those men and their families carry that burden with them still.

    At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
