For nearly four years, the swastika had flown belligerently over the small town of Sainte Mere Eglise in Normandy. Suddenly, shortly after midnight on the night of 5/6th June 1944, parachutists from the 82nd Airborne Division began landing in and around the town.

By 04.30, after a tough fire fight, troopers from the 505th PIR had raised another flag over the town – the Stars and Stripes – and Sainte Mere Eglise had become the first town in Normandy to be liberated by the Allies on D-Day. Sherman tanks landing on nearby Utah Beach with the US VII Corps were soon passing through the newly liberated town on the way to the front.

Framed Double Remarque

A completely unique SEVEN signature collector's piece!

This outstanding tribute has been signed by three of the most eminent American veterans to take part in the action, fighting from Normandy to final victory in Germany. To make this copy even more special, Richard has hand-crafted an original pencil drawing in the lower left margin and our expert team have conservation matted this piece to include museum-quality replica Airborne shoulder patches and an additional FOUR 101st Airborne autographs. The full list of signatures read:

  • Lieutenant Colonel James 'Maggie' Megellas
  • Sergeant Bob Bearden
  • Sergeant Milton Schlesener
  • Sergeant Amos 'Buck' Taylor
  • Colonel Ed Shames
  • Private William 'Bill' Wingett
  • Sergeant Paul Rogers
