1er Maitre Leon Gautier LdH MM CdeG MDLR

A Free French Commando, Gautier landed on D-Day at 7.20 with Lord Lovats legendary Special Service Brigade on Sword Beach. Gautiers task with 4th Commando was to clear the beach defences and the strong point at Riva Bella Casino. The Commandos then moved on up to Pegasus Bridge to help defend 6th Airbornes bridgehead. Here they fought a bitter battle against German counter attacks that was to last 77 days. Originally in the Free French Navy; Gautier volunteered for Commando training in 1943, joining 4th Commando for the Normandy Campaign. Leon Gautier is President of the French Commando Association. He lives in Ouistreham, not far from where he landed on D-Day.

Normandy Veterans Association 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Print by Michael Turner.

Official limited edition print of the 60th Anniversary of the Normandy Veterans Association. The Eastern Flank of the D-Day battlefield, 1300 hours, June 6th 1944. No single picture could possibly encompass the actions of all British forces on D-Day, let alone the Allies overall, whise front stretched 60 miles along the Normandy coastline. The eastern flank of the D-Day battlefield has been chosen to symbolise the achievements of British forces on June 6th 1944 because no other part of the invasion front illustrates better the combined efforts of all three services.
