FOREWORD

As you read this brilliant account of the planning of this assault by the 6th Airborne Division and the action that took place in the Ranville area, you will find it difficult to put this book down. With each chapter you will marvel at the bravery and dedication of the men who tell their story of what happened to them during the battles they encountered on 6 June 1944 including the arrival of the seaborne units into the 6th Airborne Divisional area.

I congratulate the author for his devotion to produce such an outstanding, detailed account of the capture of the Pegasus and Orne Bridges, the defence and the relief on D-Day.

Major Jack Watson MC, 13th (Lancashire) Battalion, The Parachute Regiment.
