EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the Memorial to the 22nd Dragoons and their Flail Tanks at Cresserons, Normandy, France. The 22nd Dragoon Regiment, a British armored regiment, played a crucial role in the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. They were tasked with clearing mines from the beaches using their unique Flail tanks. These Sherman tanks were equipped at the front with rotating rollers, each with long chains attached. The purpose of these devices was to clear exits from the beaches by exploding mines as the troops and vehicles advanced. The 22nd Dragoons landed on both Sword and Juno beaches, and this memorial stands as a testament to their bravery and sacrifice. The Flail tanks were essential in ensuring the safe passage of troops and supplies, allowing the Allied forces to establish a foothold in Europe and ultimately lead to the liberation of France. The memorial, surrounded by lush greenery, serves as a peaceful reminder of the sacrifices made by the 22nd Dragoons during the D-Day landings. The inscription on the memorial reads, "In memory of the 22nd Dragoons who cleared the way for the Allied advance on D-Day, June 6, 1944." The memorial is a significant historical site, attracting visitors from around the world who come to pay their respects and honor the bravery of those who gave their lives for freedom.
