Commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day this talk will tell the stories of Northamptonshire people as part of Operation Overlord. Northamptonshire men and women served in the navy, army and air-force and were also involved in special operations. We will also share activity on the home front including S'alute the Soldier' fundraising in the villages, an 'Evils We Face' exhibition in Northampton, the Land Army and food production in rural Northamptonshire. The talk will feature individual stories researched especially for D-Day 80.
