Beschrijving keerzijde Highly detailed depiction of Allied soldiers advancing under fire during the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944. A helmeted infantryman dominates the foreground, advancing with rifle at the ready, his expression conveying the intensity of combat. Additional soldiers armed with rifles and bayonets press forward behind him, while further troops disembark from landing craft and storm the beach in the middle and upper background. Beach obstacles, including metal anti-tank hedgehogs, are visible in the lower right field. The inscription 07.25, denoting the H-Hour landing time, appears along the lower left exergue.

Aanvullende informatie

Guernsey holds a unique position in the D-Day narrative: it was the only British territory occupied by Nazi Germany during the war, remaining so from June 1940 until liberation in May 1945 — nine months after the Normandy landings it could not directly benefit from. The island's commemorative output on this subject carries a weight of local history that issues from non-occupied nations simply cannot claim.
