    D Day Powerpoint

    D-Day The term D-Day refers to a specific date for a planned operation, often a military attack. However, the term D-Day has also become synonymous with the allied attack on the beaches of Normandy which took place on 6th June 1944. Photo courtesy of Chief Photographer's Mate (CPHoM) Robert F. Sargent (@wikicommons) - granted under creative commons licence The Atlantic Wall During the Second World War, Germany was in control of much of Europe. This map shows which countries were controlled by Nazi Germany in 1942. The Atlantic Wall Strongholds secured by Germany in France were fiercely defended and Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of fortifications - known as the Atlantic Wall - along the coastal regions of north- western Europe and Scandinavia in preparation for an expected Allied attack by Great Britain. Note: Britain occupied the Faroe Islands and Iceland during the war. Photo courtesy of User:Uberstroker (@wikicommons) - granted under creative commons licence Operation Overlord From early on in the war, it was clear that in order to secure Allied success, the liberation of north-west Europe from German control was vital. The Allies made plans to try and drive the Germans out of France. They planned Operation Overlord - a huge military assault which would combine naval, land and airborne attacks on the Germans in France. Operation Overlord Every detail of the operation was so intricately planned that it took over two years to put the plan into action. Operation Overlord was the biggest military operation the world had ever seen and was a collaborative effort between more than 12 countries.

It stands in the parish churchyard in Friern Barnet Lane. As the population grew in the 19th and 20th centuries, new parishes were created: All Saints’ from the northern portion of the parish, St Peter-le-Poer to the south. The church of St John the Evangelist in Friern Barnet Road, completed in 1910, was built as a chapel-of-ease to St James’s, to serve what had become the main centre of population of the parish, near the Colney Hatch Asylum (later Friern Hospital) and the railway station. To make full use of the two church buildings, since 2009 St James’s Church has become the place of worship for the Greek Orthodox Community of St Katherine, with Church of England services taking place in St John’s.

    Normandy 2016

    Normandy 2016 31st May 2016 A very early start on a dreadful day. Torrential rain and spray from vehicles, conditions were very bad and at times dangerous. As we approached the QE11 bridge the traffic was heavier and the rain much worse with vehicles aquaplaning and incredible spray. The water on the roads, was in my view at a dangerous point with people travelling much too fast. In 43 years driving and thousands of miles travelled I don't think I have driven in worse conditions. On the M20 there was debris in the carriageway and we got a puncture in poring rain, exiting the vehicle we stood over the arnco waiting for recovery. Being showered with water every time an HGV went past, “Singing in the Rain” and “Raindrops Keep falling On My Head” wore a bit thin!!! Soaking wet and very cold we were AA rescued and taken to Kwik Fit where I was stung for a tyre, but happily changed our clothes, even our underwear, which was soaking and resumed our journey still in pouring rain. All the way down to our destination it rained and rained. A very tired pair of friends arrived at our home for the next 8 days. 1st June Wednesday Still tired but up and away to Vire, did some shopping and visited a church or two. Here I paid respects to their War Memorials and sang in the churches. I love to sing and to hear what a hymn or favourite piece of music sounds like in a beautiful church is a real pleasure.

As we move into the final year of the centenary of the end of WW1 our head guide Paul Reed has created a selection of special anniversary event tours plus new tours covering some of the major final campaign battles. We also have an expanded collection of WW2 tours some of which cover historical events around the end of the war and the aftermath of the Cold War. Further afield we are pleased to introduce a brand new Vietnam tour covering the harrowing events of that long campaign. Ian Henry, Chief Executive, Leger Holidays Inspirational journeys of Remembrance and Discovery Visiting battlefields from the two World Wars remains a fascinating, rewarding and moving experience. A century after WW1 and some 75 years since WW2, the debt we owe to those generations remains strong and the legacy of Remembrance they have left us prompts many who travel on our Battlefield Tours to ask more: who is the solider in that faded photo at home? What was that name on the local war memorial? What did grandad do, and how did his war fit into the bigger picture?
