Gold Beach and the British Memorial Day 4
Facts: 1449 British Soldiers died on D-Day. The British Memorial contains a statue of every man who died. The numbers for missing and wounded were higher. They landed on Gold Beach. The beach was over 5 miles long. It was one of 5 beaches. At the end of the day, they had landed 25,000 men. It was very touching to see the memorials and beaches and to think of all the men who fought and sacrificed.

What a great visit to Gold Beach.
Tommies—they were still mere kids, so young to die for the Freedom of another nation.
May their sacrifices awaken many children and adults to the awareness of FREEDOM.
Beautifully knitted poppies!
