FIRST TO LAND - The latest D-Day piece by Simon Smith
Ideal for adding signatures at our event on Sunday 2nd April...

Amongst those storming ashore on Sword Beach on the morning of 6 June 1944 were the 177 men of the elite 1er Bataillon de Fusiliers Marins Commandos commanded by Capitaine de Corvette Philippe Kieffer. As part of Lord Lovat’s 1st Special Service Brigade, the ‘Commando Kieffer’ had the distinction of being the first, and only, French unit that day to land on any of the D-Day beaches.
Perfect for signing by our Normandy Veterans on Sunday 2nd April, including MERVYN KERSH (pictured below) and MICK JENNINGS who has never been to the gallery before!
