New British Normandy Memorial Helps Mark 77th Anniversary of D-Day in France

The allied landings on the beaches of Normandy, France, marked a turning point in World War II. It would lead to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. That initial assault, on June 6th, 1944, was known as D-Day. Now, a new memorial has been created, in time for the 77th anniversary of D-Day. The British Normandy Memorial features a ‘D-Day Wall,’ containing the names of the British troops who died on that fateful June day.
