Navigating half-term can be a challenge, particularly if you are doing it solo. The amount, patterns and types of parental absence faced by Royal Navy and Royal Marines families present additional challenges that are not routinely experienced by most civilian families.

The Saxon Shore (Latin: litus Saxonicum) was a military command of the Late Roman Empire, consisting of a series of fortifications on both sides of the Channel. It was established in the late 3rd century and was led by the “Count of the Saxon Shore”. In the late 4th century, his functions were limited to Britain, while the fortifications in Gaul were established as separate commands. Several well-preserved Saxon Shore forts survive in east and south-east England. https://lnkd.in/gKqhP5KG

The 6 June 2024 will be the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The National Museum of the Royal Navy holds an original copy of the Naval Operation Orders for Operation Neptune in its galleries at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. These orders were critical to the success of D-Day on June 6 1944. Operation ‘Neptune’ was the naval assault phase of ‘Overlord’, and involved safely landing 156,000 troops on 50 miles of defended coastline. The majority came by sea, delivered and supported by huge naval forces, including 6,939 vessels: 1,213 naval combat ships, 4,126 landing ships and landing craft, 736 ancillary craft and 864 merchant vessels. Hundreds of copies of these operation orders were issued to various units involved in the invasion. Interestingly, not all copies were identical. Each set of orders was tailored to specific operational zones, containing only the information pertinent to that particular sector. This strategic measure was implemented to enhance security. If a set of orders fell into enemy hands, it would not reveal the entire plan, thus protecting the overall mission integrity. These items offer a tangible connection to the meticulous planning and coordination required for such a large-scale operation. #DDay80 #DDay #OperationNeptune #DDay #WWII #WorldWar2 #History #MilitaryHistory #NormandyLandings #HistoricEvents #WWIIMemorial #DdayAnniversary
