"Every second was vital; let's get out of this coffin! Our landing craft was getting so near now and we felt so helpless, enemy shells were now landing on the shoreline and machine gun bullets were raking the sand. Then, at the top of his voice, the helmsman shouted: 'Hundred to go, seventy-five to go, all ready, fifty to go!"

Bill Cheall, Lance Corporal, 6th Battalion, Green Howards

"A burst of automatic fire crackled in, just over our heads. No one was hit. With a yell, 2nd Loot White sprung to his feet and jumped out into the knee-deep water. To our surprise, he disappeared from sight! He had fallen into a shell hole, obscured by the water."

Brian Moss, Sergeant,

233 Field Company, Royal Engineers / 5EY
