D-Day 80 Memorial

This is a special place for you to share memories and photos of your loved ones who were involved in D-Day - and the wider war effort.

“…the spirit of the people, resolute, dedicated, burned like a bright flame, lit surely from those unseen fires which nothing can quench.”  King George VI, 6 June 1944 (D-Day)

Both father and son were present in Normandy on D-Day. Acting CPO Dunlop Brown, a highly distinguished engineer who had contributed significantly to the war effort, including Operation Pluto, volunteered as an "experienced sailor" to command an auxiliary delivering personnel around the assembled fleet. The other crew were a retired RearAdm engineer, as stoker and a civilian communist as seaman. Engineer son Robert was also there, coincidentally executing part of his father's secret D-day plans
