A whole heap of D-Day stuff
D-Day Overlord is a go.
Allies heading towards Piccadilly Circus the first staging point across the channel.
Destroyers laying smoke screens to disguise the fleet from the French coast
Weymouth.Father (Major)Edward J Waters, Catholic Chaplin,conducting Divine Service for troops about to embark
RAF Saltby. 2nd Battalion. 508th PIR coordinating battle plans that were thrown into disarray over drop zones.
Messages of encouragement
Boarding equipment and men onto the LST assault craft. Staging points were located in south England and Wales
Meteorological officer for Operation Overlord. James Stagg. Such a heavy burden and responsibility.
I read an article over the weekend about the role played by an Irish man in D day. He was based on the West coast and even though we were 'neutral' he was asked to give hourly weather reports to the James Stagg in England concerning the weather coming in from the west seeing as he would have known before their meteorologists. On and on it went and even though plans were being drawn up for the invasion he was nonethewiser and continued. Around the fourth or fifth he was asked to repeat the forecast, something that he had never been asked to do before. So he went through the procedure and gave the exact same forecast, it was correct the first time. A day or two later it became apparent why they double checked.
His name was Sweeney, lighthouse man in Blacksod Bay.
7th June 1944 Sainte-Mère-Église
82nd Airborne.
13th June. Omaha Beach. Women's Army Corps land on the beach to serve Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer 13th Field Hospital
Troops of the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment in their Horsa
