Many months in planning as troops gathered across Southern Britain in preparation, it would create the second front against Nazi Germany in Europe and would lay the foundations for final victory on the continent a year later.Over 150,000 men took part in the daring invasion – code named Operation Overlord – including an airborne assault that occurred before the seaborne troops reached the shore. 80 years later it is important we continue to remember the bravery, and in many cases the ultimate sacrifice, of all the troops involved in this unparalleled military success.Housed within a Presentation Wallet and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity,
