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)

Served on minesweeper HMS Shippigan 1942-46. Aged 20 on D-Day, his ship was one of those sweeping the approaches to Utah Beach. Thankfully came home safe and sound to live a long and happy life. God Bless You Dad.
