DDayTrust

The men and women of D-Day hold a special place in the nation’s heart. With your help, they will be honored and treasured forever at The Normandy Memorial Wall. Friends and relatives of those who took part in the campaign are invited to commission the installation of a brick.

A small group of us met with the Lord Mayor, clerics and friends from the synagogue at the Holocaust Memorial Tree @DDayTrust museum to remember @HMD_UK Holocaust Memorial Day. Let’s we forget. #Southsea #HolocaustMemorialDay #Portsmouth
