EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the South Lancashire Regiment Memorial in Hermanville, France, dedicated to the brave soldiers of the Prince of Wales's Volunteers who lost their lives during the D-Day landings and subsequent campaigns. The South Lancashire Regiment, also known as the Prince of Wales's Volunteers, was among the first units to come ashore on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, as part of the leading elements of the Allied invasion. The area surrounding the memorial is home to other tributes to the fallen heroes of D-Day, making it a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men. The South Lancashire Regiment suffered heavy losses during the historic operation, with a total of 288 officers and men giving their lives in the name of freedom. This powerful image, taken in 2009, serves as a moving testament to their courage and sacrifice, and a reminder of the pivotal role the South Lancashire Regiment played in the liberation of Europe during World War II.
