Yesterday members of our ships company attended the annual Military Day event at Trebah Gardens.

This year marks 82 years since US soldiers left Trebah Beach for the landings at Normandy. On June 1st 1944, 7500 American Soldiers of the 29th US Infantry Division boarded 10 LST (Landing Ship, Tank) landing craft, crossing the English Channel to Omaha beach in Normandy.

We had the special privilege this year to be part of this event and to remember the soldiers who left these shores, possibly for the last time to fight for the freedoms we have today.

It was an amazing to see so many supporters and members of the public who came to support this event and remember all those who took part in D-Day, 82 years ago.

We Will Remember them.
