Something a bit different, a battledress jacket with the insignia of the 12th Battalion Devonshire Regiment. The battalion was trained as glider troops and took part in the capture of Pegasus Bridge during the allied invasion of Normandy. #ww2 #devon #vintage #airborne #ww2british #pegasus #normandy #dday #operationoverlord #devonshireregiment

My love and I standing at the sign leading to Pegasus Bridge. The road to the left of us is where the British Commandos coming in from Sword Beach relieved Major Howard and his men. #6thairbornedivision #britishairborne #britishheros #ww2 #worldwar2 #thesecondworldwar #history #historic #dday #normandy #majorjohnhoward #oxforshire #buckinghamshire
My love and I standing next to an exact model of the British Horsa Glider that was used by John Howard and the rest of the British 6th Airborne to land their troops safely (mostly) all around Normandy during D-Day. I didn’t realize how big these things were. Throughout my time studying the Horsa Gliders I’ve always thought they were small, but seeing this one in person totally changed my perspective of them. #britishairborne #6thairbornedivision #horsaglider #ww2 #worldwartwo #thesecondworldwar #johnhoward #normandy #france #dday

I’m standing at the real Pegasus Bridge that resides in the Memorial Pegasus Museum, located just down the road from its original location. This was the bridge that Major Howard and his men captured and held through out D-Day as apart of Operation Deadstick. Many men died to protect this very bridge, but their sacrifice was not in vain. Because of the successful capture of this bridge and a few others along the Orne Canal, it allowed the allies left flank to be secure making this bridge a very significant artifact from WW2. I hope this continues to stand for as long as it can because Pegasus Bridge not only represents one of the first allied victories on D-Day, but also the integrity, intuition and courage that the British would bring throughout the war. #dday #normandy #france #orneriver #6thairborne #britishheroes #britishvictory #ww2 #worldwar2 #thesecondworldwar #history #historic #monument

I am standing at what is known as Pegasus Bridge. At 0015 in the early hours of D-Day, before the 101st and 82nd landed and before the infamous beach landings, Maj. John Howard of the British 6th Airborne Division, 2nd Battalion of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry landed their Horsa Gliders on this side of the bridge. What they accomplished that night was probably the most critical mission of D-Day. Major Howard and his team stormed across this bridge knocking out some German gunners and trench systems on the other side of the river. They did all this with utmost efficiency and in complete darkness, all within 20 minutes. But capturing it was just the beginning, they had to hold it and they did. German tanks, infantry and snipers could not undo Major Howard and his men. They held the bridge against all odds for nearly 12 hours until they were relieved by British Commandos. What the men had accomplished that night was simply amazing. Their actions prevented the allied left flank from crumbling by German counter attacks throughout the days and weeks following D-Day. Without the British holding this bridge and many others across the Orne River, the German forces could have easily pushed back the troops landing ashore making D-Day a possible failure. Major Howard and his men pulled off the impossible and against all odds helped make D-Day, and the liberation of Europe possible. The bridge you see behind me is not the original bridge. The original is kept down the road at the fantastic Pegasus Memorial Museum. #majorjohnhoward #dday #normandy #britishparatroopers #oxfordshire #buckinghamshire #2ndairborne #britishheros #ww2 #worldwar2 #thesecondworldwar #history #historic
What a wonderful opportunity we've had with Thomas and Flavie Bass to meet Frederick Glover, veteran of 9th Battalion, 6th British Airborne Division. Fred stand up to fight for his country at the age of 17 and later volunteered for the Airborne. He took part in the invasion of Normandy where he was wounded and captured by the German Army. Fred was in captivity, recovering from his wounds in Paris, when he found a way to escape the german hospital with the help of the French underground. After Paris was liberated in August 1944, Fred was sent to England to finish his recovery. He later joined back his comrades in arms of the 9th Battalion and took part in the Battle of the Bulge. In March 1945, he was dropped over Germany during operation Varsity to cross the Rhine River and from there enter Northern Germany. Varsity was meant to help the surface river assault troops secure a foothold across the Rhine River in Western Germany by landing two airborne divisions on the eastern bank of the Rhine near the village of Hamminkeln and the town of Wesel. Thank you very much for your sevice Fred, we will never forget. #ww2 #wwii #worldwar2 #war #army #veteran #airborne #paratrooper #dday #normandy #merville #franceville #theygaveitall #battleofthebulge #varsity #overlord #pow #powmia
