Nowhere on the Normandy beaches is there a monument to the 22,442 Britons who fell in the invasion... but with your help, this glorious war memorial can be built

I'm sure with the level of patriotism that abounds in this great country and the fact that we will never ever forget our fallen servicemen, the money needed will most certainly be raised and I think it won't be very long in being achieved.

What a great monument it will be too, I love the proposed statue of the three soldiers racing up the beach. Cool ThumpUp

That's a very nice piece of work by the sculptor and judging by the size of just the one figure, three together plus the plinth beneath is going to give a substantial memorial …. just as it should be! Cool ThumpUp
