For the last five years we have been researching Britain's D-Day Heritage. Much is recorded about D-Day, the Normandy Beaches, the bravery of the men that risked their lives and the many that paid the ultimate sacrifice, to protect the freedom that most of us still enjoy today.

We believe that it is not only important to commemorate the military effort, but to celebrate those men and women who planned, built and engineered the most complex and innovative liberation the world has ever seen.

We also believe that this is a shared history and it is essential that there is a place for the families of those involved to understand the true magnitude of their efforts, and uncover some of the disappearing landscapes across Britain.   

The website and all our guides and films are written and researched, by real people who are passionate about the subject, and every care has been taken to ensure accuracy and use documents and images in accordance with their permissions. Please use the contact page to notify us of any errors or omissions. We thank all those who have, and continue to assist us.     

About You

At least 13 countries were involved in the liberation of Europe. Most people involved will have passed through Britain, and many will have left their mark. It could be the names carved on a wall in Southampton whilst US Soldiers were waiting to board; it could be a relative's picture or name recorded in a record or a picture or record they made of their time in Britain. Others from nations across the world may have also been living in the country at the time.

Please let us know, using the contact page if you have any information that could help us expand this D Day Story. We can also advise you how to lodge original material with Museums and Archives to ensure the information is recorded for the future.
