EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Essex Yeomanry Plaque, proudly displayed on the side of a bunker at Gold Beach in Normandy. The Essex Yeomanry, part of 231 Brigade, played a significant role in the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, as they were attached to the 50th Division. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the Essex soldiers during this pivotal moment in history. Sgt R E Palmer, a member of the Essex Yeomanry, is particularly associated with this section of Gold Beach. In an action that took place during the landings, Palmer displayed exceptional courage and determination in overcoming a German-held bunker, earning him the Military Medal (MM) for his valour. The plaque commemorates his heroic deeds and the sacrifices made by the Essex Yeomanry during the Normandy landings. The Essex Yeomanry, a part-time territorial force, was raised in 1794 and saw action in both World Wars. Their involvement in the D-Day landings marked the culmination of their long and distinguished military history. The image of the Essex Yeomanry Plaque on the Gold Beach bunker stands as a testament to their indomitable spirit and the vital role they played in the Allied victory in Europe. This photograph, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Essex Yeomanry and the D-Day landings. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Essex Yeomanry and the pivotal role they played in the liberation of Europe.
