Depicting the 8th Army artillery firing on the last Battle of
Cassino,
600 guns destroyed the remaining German defences.
Operation Overlord by
David Rowlands 9th (Irish) Field Battery firing on the
'Run-in-shoot' to Queen Beach. They were the first rounds fired at the
Normandy Coast, D-Day 6th June, 1944. Queen Beach, one of the 4 sectors of
Sword Beach, where most of the landings of D-Day were carried out. The
Queen Beach sector which extended for 1.5km between Lion-sur-Mer and the
western edge of Ouistretham. The attack was thus concentrated on a narrow
one-brigade front. For once the DD tanks and other armour came in exactly
on time and ahead of the infantry. The 8th brigade, with the 1st Battalion
of the South Lancashire Regiment on the right and the 2nd East Yorkshire
on the left.
