Dog Company of the US 2nd Ranger Battalion have just scaled the 90-foot cliffs of Pointe-du-Hoc and now engage in a ferocious assault against the German gun positions overlooking Utah Beach, 6 June 1944.
This dramatic portrayal has been personally signed by a famous veteran who took part in the assault:
- Capt GEORGE KLEIN - Platoon Leader of 'Fox' Company, 2nd Ranger Battalion, 80th Infantry Division, on D-Day.
To make it even more special, our expert team have included an original fragment of German barbed wire recovered from Normandy.
HEADING OFF OMAHA
by Keith Burns
Recently landed M3A1 halftracks from the US 36th Armored Infantry Regiment, US Third Armored Division, climb away from Omaha Beach shortly after the D-Day landings. They will soon be heavily involved in the tough fighting to clear German forces from the hedgerows of Normandy.
Keith's powerful piece continues to prove extremely popular and to make this copy completely unique it has been framed to conservation standards to include a sample of sand recovered from Omaha beach.
D-DAY NORMANDY LANDINGS
by Robert Taylor
Robert's famous portrayal captures the very essence of the herculean battle that took place on D-Day. The scene is dominated by one of the many large transport ships, lowering her landing craft under bombardment from shore batteries as barrage balloons fly overhead. Against all odds, this huge fleet is sailing into the teeth of the German defences to land the Allied invasion forces. The battle for Normandy has begun.
This memorable piece has been personally signed by Brig Sir ALEX STANIER who commanded the 231st Infantry Brigade of the British Army that spearheaded the assault on the west section of Gold Beach and was instrumental in the capture of Arromanches.
This matted collector’s piece also includes the original autographs of a further three Normandy Veterans.
