| Reverse description | A dramatic and evocative scene depicting Allied soldiers aboard a Higgins landing craft at the moment of the D-Day assault on 6 June 1944, viewed from behind as the craft's ramp prepares to drop. The helmeted troops, rendered in high relief with netted combat helmets and full field gear, press forward toward the open sea and beach beyond. Rows of German beach obstacles — including angled stakes and steel hedgehogs — are visible across the middle ground, with the Normandy coastline rendered in the upper field. The time inscription 06.30, denoting H-Hour for the first Allied landings, appears in the lower exergue. |
