British 3rd Infantry Division Plaque Sannerville Normandy
The wall commemorates the Division's part in Operation Goodwood, 18-21 July 1944. Nicknamed Monty's Ironsides, between D-Day and the end of the war, the Division had over 11, 000 casualties. Following the Allied success of the inital landings the German resistance strengthened around the city of Caen and the struggle became very much an armoured affair. Goodwood led to the capture of Caen
