For a first time in a while here on C&G, perhaps we can come together just briefly without flaming and hatred towards one and other simply to remember those who have fallen for our freedom. We must spare a moment, just a brief minute of your life, remembering those that have died in our cause, and thanking them for the heroic things that they have done.

Take a minute whilst remembering the soldiers to read this short passage.

On the night of 5 June 1944, a force of 181 men, led by Major John Howard, took off from RAF Tarrant Rushton in Dorset, southern England in six Horsa gliders to capture Pegasus Bridge, and also "Horsa Bridge", a few hundred yards to the east, over the Orne River. The force was composed of D Company (reinforced with two platoons of B company), 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry; 20 sappers, 249 Fd Co. (Airborne); and men of the Glider Pilot Regiment. The object of this action was to prevent German armour from crossing the bridges and attacking the eastern flank of the landings at Sword Beach.

Five of the Ox and Bucks's gliders landed as close as 47 yards from their objectives from 16 minutes past midnight. The attackers poured out of their battered gliders, completely surprising the German defenders, and took the bridges within 10 minutes. They lost two men in the process, Lieutenant Den Brotheridge and Lance-Corporal Fred Greenhalgh.

Greenhalgh drowned in a nearby pond when his glider landed. Lieutenant Brotheridge was killed crossing the bridge in the first minutes of the assault and thus became the first member of the invading Allied armies to die as a result of enemy fire on D-Day.

Exactly 70 years to the day that the first Allied troops landed in Normandy to take back what Germany stole........The first Allies to land in Gliders being the Ox & Bucks so this is particularly poignant as they are an antecedent regiment of The Rifles. So please spare a thought for what happened this night in 1944, remember and never forget.
