The British Normandy Memorial was unveiled on 6 June 2021, the 77th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The Memorial records the names of the 22,442 servicemen and women under British command who fell on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy in the summer of 1944. Their names are inscribed in stone, in date order, on the memorial pillars of the Memorial. They include people from more than 30 different countries.

The site also includes a French Memorial, dedicated to the memory of French civilians who died during that time.

23 Czechoslovak airmen serving in the RAF who were killed during the Battle of Normandy, are named at the Memorial.

On behalf of FCAFA, our volunteers David, Steven and Michael Hertz visited this memorial and placed our bouquets in remembrance of them.
