Pressure? There is no pressure in Test cricket. Real pressure is when you are flying a Mosquito with a Messerschmitt up your arse

Not even her own family knew. People were just built different in them days I guess. May she forever rest in peace.

In May 1944, 23-year-old Phyllis Latour jumped out of a US bomber and parachuted into occupied Normandy, France. Her mission was to gather information about Nazi positions in preparation for D-Day. Once on the ground, she quickly buried her parachute and clothes, and began a secret mission that would last four months, pretending to be a poor teenage French girl.

Phyllis had been trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She learned how to send secret messages in Morse code, how to fix wireless radios, and how to spy without being caught. She also went through tough physical training in the Scottish highlands. Phyllis wanted to get revenge on the Nazis who had killed her godfather.

Phyllis said, “The men who had been sent before me were caught and killed. I was chosen because I would be less suspicious.” She would ride a bicycle through the region, pretending to sell soap, and secretly pass messages to the British about German locations. She acted like a country girl chatting with German soldiers to avoid raising suspicion. She moved from place to place to stay hidden and often slept in forests finding her own food.

Phyllis also came up with a clever way to hide her secret codes. She wrote them on a piece of silk and pricked it with a pin each time she used a code. She kept it hidden inside a hair tie. Once when the Germans briefly detained her and searched her she took out the hair tie and let her hair fall, showing she had nothing to hide. In the summer of 1944, Phyllis sent 135 coded messages helping Allied bombers find German targets.

After the war, Phyllis married and moved to New Zealand. Her children didn’t know about her wartime service until 2000, when her oldest son found out online. This hero passed on October 7, 2023. May she rest In peace.

The Incredible Story of Sergeant Major Stanley Hollis VC – The Only Victoria Cross Awarded on D-Day 🏅

On 6 June 1944, as Allied forces stormed Normandy’s beaches, one man stood out for extraordinary bravery. Company Sergeant Major Stanley Elton Hollis of the 6th Battalion, Green Howards, landed on Gold Beach (King Sector) and earned the only VC of D-Day through two acts of selfless courage. Here’s his story.

Hollis, a 31-year-old veteran from Middlesbrough, had already seen heavy fighting: Dunkirk, North Africa, and Sicily. He was a battle-hardened leader, acting as CSM for D Company. His unit hit the beach around 7:32 AM, pushing inland toward the Mont Fleury Battery.

First Act of Gallantry

Soon after landing, two German pillboxes were bypassed. Hollis and his Company Commander went to clear them. A machine gun opened fire from 20 yards away. Without hesitation, Hollis charged straight at it, firing his Sten gun into the slit.

He jumped on top of the pillbox, reloaded, dropped a grenade inside, and fired again — killing two Germans and forcing the rest to surrender. He then cleared a nearby trench. In total, he captured around 30 prisoners single-handedly, protecting his company’s rear and opening the beach exit.

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

The manager of South Shields taking over isn’t going to get the juices flowing. The club needs to be very honest about what’s really happening here. If the financial situation is so dire that we’re having to cut back on near enough everything then come out and say it because a sixth tier manager who didn’t achieve promotion isn’t a step up for me.
