EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn atmosphere at the crossroads of Asnelles, Normandy, named after General Sir Alexander Stanier, Commander of the leading brigade (the 231st) of the 50th (Northumbrian) Division, which played a pivotal role in the D-Day landings on Gold Beach on June 6, 1944. The image, taken during the aftermath of the invasion, shows the stark contrast between the peaceful rural setting and the somber memorials that now mark the site where the Northumbrian soldiers fought to secure a foothold in Europe during World War II. The 50th Division, part of the Second Army under the command of General Miles Dempsey, was one of the first formations to land on the Normandy coast during the Allied invasion. The division's leading brigade, the 231st, under the command of General Stanier, landed on Gold Beach, facing heavy German resistance. The memorials nearby commemorate the battalions that also played a crucial role in the landings, including the Northumberland Fusiliers and the Durham Light Infantry. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men of the 50th Northumbrian Division during the D-Day landings, and the crucial role they played in the eventual liberation of Europe from Nazi control. The crossroads at Asnelles, now named in honor of General Stanier, stand as a testament to the courage and determination of the Allied forces during World War II.
