Looks like any other beach photo...But on #Dday 1,300 allied soldiers were killed on this beach at Ouistreham. I'd like to think they’d love the fact that 75 years later my 2boys have spent the whole day having fun in the very place where they gave everything for our freedom.

Often termed the 'Forgotten Army', 75 years ago, as British armies advanced against the Germans in France and Italy, the 14th Army was pursuing the Japanese through Burma after defeating them at Imphal and Kohima. Never forgotten. #Remembrance
