EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of liberation as British and Canadian troops wade ashore from landing craft at Ouistreham and Bernieres in the St. Aubin sector on June 6, 1944. One of fourteen scenes documented in this collection of one hundred and two photographs, this image is a poignant reminder of the D-Day landings during Operation Overlord in World War Two. The troops, part of the British and Canadian sectors, numbered 83,110 in total, with 61,759 of them being British. The largest number of troops, 24,970, were landed on Gold Beach, followed by 21,400 on Juno Beach and 28,845 on Sword Beach. An additional 7,900 airborne troops also joined the invasion. The photograph, taken by A D C Smith, an Army Commando, shows the soldiers making their way through the water towards the French shoreline, as the landing craft recedes into the distance. The image is a testament to the bravery and determination of the Allied forces as they began the long-awaited invasion of Normandy. This photograph is a valuable historical record of the D-Day landings, a pivotal moment in World War Two and the beginning of the end of the Nazi regime in Europe. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by the troops and the civilians who lived through those tumultuous times.
