We just wanted to say a massive thank you for your support for ourGarden Tommies. We were delighted to see how popular they were and were overwhelmed by the positive response to them.

Due to the incredible demand, we managed to secure a second limited run, but we will not be getting anymore in stock in the forseeable future. So, if you were considering purchasing one, now is the time as there are still a few left.

You will find them priced at £60 on our website.

Thank you all again – we couldn’t do the work we do to commemorate, educate and heal without you.

Last weekend we let you know about a limited run of our Garden Tommies, on sale in time for Armed Forces Day and to commemorate 100 years since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

We ran out of stock, but so many of you contacted us to say you were disappointed to have missed out, that we have managed to secure another limited run of our Garden Tommies. These will be available only while stocks last and will be shared on our social media channels from Monday.

If you missed out last weekend, you can now find our Garden Tommies for £60 on our website.

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.

On 28th April 1944, 749 American servicemen were killed off Slapton Sands in Devon during a rehearsal for D-Day called Operation Tiger.

As the troops were on the water preparing to practice landing on the beaches, German E-boats were alerted to activity in the area and attacked.

Due to the need for absolute secrecy the tragedy was kept quiet and, even today, is not as well-known as it should be.

These servicemen were the first casualties of D-Day, so to highlight this story and to launch our D-Day 75 commemorative campaign, today we laid 749 pairs of Bootprints on the same beach at Slapton Sands.

D-Day and the Battle of Normandy saw over 50,000 servicemen and women die – from Britain, the Commonwealth and America – in a battle that would turn the tide of the Second World War.

This year’s There But Not There campaign encourages you to walk in the bootprints of those servicemen and women who gave their lives in this extraordinary battle.

Our Bootprint plaques each carry the name of someone who died during this battle and all profits support projects that help today’s veterans get back into employment after their service.
