"Our guns started opening fire in the early hours of the morning and carried on for hours. The noise was unbelievable. I watched as the troops landed on the beach. It was awe-inspiring. These boys were the real heroes." - Bill Howard

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:

WATCH: Pfc. Barney Bardman, 307th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division, a Jewish in the U.S. Army, was killed during WWI.

Originally given a Latin Cross headstone, he now rests under a Star of David.

Robert Capa's amazing shot was taken around this time. Note the soldiers pinned down on the beach. 900 Americans were killed on Omaha. Capa survived and his images are the iconic photos of Omaha. See more on https://t.co/EEg00P0EnE

The long sobs of the violins of autumn wound my heart with a monotonous languor.

Do please post something today on your X page, in honour of our Allied heroes.

They deserve to be remembered on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

@mkhammer @philipaklein @lyndseyfifield Just a point of clarification... In Maine there "ain't no such thing" as an "oysterman". Lobsterman, yes, but oysterman? Nah....

@AnthonyBialy Does it magically turn into a regular bus on July 1?

#OTD At 00:16 hours on 6 June 1944, Lieutenant Herbert Denham Brotheridge and his glider touched down, less than 50 feet from the Pegasus Bridge.

As he led his platoon forward in the first furious charge, he came under heavy machine-gun fire.

Den is believed to have been the first Allied serviceman killed by enemy action on French soil during the Normandy Campaign.

He was 29 years old.

They broke his bones, gouged his eyes out, cut out his tongue and castrated him. He died of a heart attack after being set on fire and dragged himself 50 meters across the floor.
