Gold Beach - 60 Years On

Well, we went, almost 120 of us.

Over five days we dealt with everything thrown at us and won lots of hearts both French and British. I'm proud of you all.

The site is going to need a major redesign to cope with all the pictures that no doubt we'll get, but this page is a start.

Everyone had commemorative badges in the post and we raised over £1500 for Help for Heroes.

Inspired by your efforts, new friends from VERNON on the Seine decided to re-enact 43 Div to celebrate their liberation in late August. Here they are with insignia purchased from divpatch.com.

I'm sure that you'll all have some advice for them but WELL DONE Fabien and the boys!
