For the 75th anniversary of D-Day, we share stories to remember the service of Commonwealth nations and Allies who fought and died.
The Royal British Legion has taken a 5-foot-high installation to the beach in Normandy where British soldiers landed as part of Operation Overlord.
In the Second World War June Denby was employed as a driver. And a month after the D-Day landings, she found herself on the way to France.
Norman Penny served in the Royal Signals at D-Day, working on mobile landing strips for aircraft.
Aged 17 Dennis Alcock lied about his age to join the Royal Navy and fight in the Second World War.
Jack Smith joined the Royal Marines in 1942 when he was only 17. Two years later he was one of thousands of Allied troops taking part in D-Day.
In the Second World War Frank Preston was an Able Seaman in the Royal Navy and served alongside troops from over 12 countries on D-Day.

The Legion is announcing that in partnership with the CWGC and RCEL we will be funding a series of tours for veterans of the Asia-Pacific campaign across South and South East Asia to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VJ Day.
The Legion will be hosting a fully funded three-day event over the Early May Bank Holiday 2020 in London for the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
An installation featuring 20,000 poppies, each with a hand-written message of remembrance, has landed in Arromanches, Normandy for D-Day 75.
Our 2019 Remembrance theme is Remember Together, encouraging the nation to remember those who aided Britain in defending its freedoms, values, and way of life.
Spies, code breakers and analysts often went unnoticed, but their work was key to Allied success in WWII.
Our Remembrance events are just one of the ways that communities can come together to honour those who served and to ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Rotary Watches are proud to partner with the Legion, and marked the centenary of the end of the First World War with a Limited Edition watch.
