Join us for a talk with Ingram Murray – Sappers in the D-Day gliders.
Landing in the six gliders with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry early in the morning of D-Day, 6th June 1944, a platoon of Royal Engineers was the spearpoint of a massive engineer effort to ensure the British forces landing on the beaches could cross the Orne Canal and the River Orne, and then break out towards the east.
Ingram Murray will talk us through the incredible works that were undertaken in the morning of this historic day to ensure the vital bridges Bénouville & Ranville and surrounding areas were ready for the subsequent mass landings.
