Charged Commandos Filling Forces Gaps Landings Like Major Overcoming Special Made

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative print captures the solemn memorial dedicated to the 4th Special Service Brigade Headquarters, located in Sallenelles, Normandy, France. Established during World War II, the Brigade was a vital component of the Allied forces, made up of Royal Marine Commandos from Nos 41, 46, 47, and 48. Like other Special Forces, their mission was to fill the gaps between the major landings and to overcome specific obstacles. The Brigade's soldiers were deployed strategically, with No. 41 landing on Sword Beach, 46 and 48 on Juno, and No. 47 on Gold. Their bravery and tenacity were tested when they later took on the heavily fortified position of the Douvres radar station, which held out for almost two weeks. This memorial stands as a testament to the sacrifices and achievements of these brave men, who played a crucial role in the successful D-Day landings on June 6, 1944."
