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)

This is my dad, a humble man from Nenagh, County Tipperary. At the age of 17, he served in the Royal Navy during the war as a radio operator. He was aboard HMS Dominica supporting the D-Day landings. He lived to the age of 97, passing away only a few years ago. His medals and service record are now in the safe and loving care of his grandson. God bless you Dad.
