Normandy Invasion 1944

A depiction by C.E.Turner of a scene during the early morning of 6th June 1944 as British forces make an amphibious landing on one of the Normandy beaches during D-Day. The scene is a mass of men, landing craft, ships and all manner of tanks and other vehicles being offloaded onto the beach. To the lower left can be seen the important Beach Master (arm raised), issuing orders, sometimes conveyed by the morse code signaller behind him, his light powered by a pedalled dynamo.Though the artist was not present, his work was based on the eye-witness account of Commander Antony Kimmins of the Royal Navy
