On 28th April 1944, we launched our 2019 D-Day 75 campaign on Slapton Sands in Devon to commemorate the 749 men who were killed during a rehearsal for D-Day.
We are rapidly approaching the anniversary of D-Day itself on Thursday 6th June – a day that turned the tide of the war and saw the start of the Battle of Normandy, which would rage until the liberation of Paris on 25th August 1944.
This summer, we want to see as many communities as possible coming together to remember the 22,763 British and Commonwealth servicemen and women who died 75 years ago.
You can purchase our stickers so that your community can literally walk in their Bootprints.
Our Bootprint plaques each carry the name of someone who died during this battle. The profits we raise support projects that help today’s veterans get back into employment.
