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)

In memory of a much loved Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad. 1920-2017. A member of the 9th Parachute Regiment that dropped in the early hours of D-Day to storm the Merville Battery. We are so proud of him, a modest and humble man. He returned to Normandy every 6th June the last 50 years of his life. To pay his respects to those who didn’t come home. May they all Rest in Peace.
