EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the remnants of a German bunker on the shore of Gold Beach, Normandy, France. The bunker, which caused significant trouble for the British 4th Hampshires and 6th Dorsets as they came ashore during the early hours of D-Day on June 6, 1944, is now a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the Allied forces. The image, taken in 2009, shows the bunker's weathered exterior, with the waves crashing against the shore in the background. The fortification, which was used by the German army to defend against the Allied invasion, was finally neutralized by Sergeant R. E. Palmer of the 147th Field Regiment RA. Palmer's heroic actions, which took place at around 300 yards from the bunker, earned him the Military Medal. The bunker's walls are adorned with memorial plaques, one dedicated to the Essex Yeomanry and the other to the 147th Field Regiment RA. These plaques serve as a testament to the sacrifices made by these units during the D-Day landings and the broader conflict. The image offers a powerful reminder of the historical significance of this site and the events that unfolded here over 70 years ago.
