We will build The British Normandy Memorial
to remember those who died for our freedom.
There is no permanent British Memorial to the 22,442 men
who gave their lives during The D-Day landings and The Battle of Normandy.
With your support, we can ensure that their sacrifice is remembered. With your support, we can build a long overdue British Normandy Memorial.
