Able Seaman LC/SIG Robert Gale DSM
A signaler in landing craft LCA 10 10, operating on Gold Beach, Gale won an immediate DSM for his ,complete disregard for danger; standing up in the bow of his craft as they came inshore to spot, and sometimes fend off, mined obstructions. His courage inspired all those whose who came into contact with him, not least the troops going ashore. He was already a veteran of the North African and Sicily landings. After the war he returned to his familys bakery business which he eventually took over and ran until his retirement.

Normandy Veterans Association 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Print by Michael Turner. Official limited edition print of the 60th Anniversary of the Normandy Veterans Association. The Eastern Flank of the D-Day battlefield, 1300 hours, June 6th 1944. No single picture could possibly encompass the actions of all British forces on D-Day, let alone the Allies overall, whise front stretched 60 miles along the Normandy coastline. The eastern flank of the D-Day battlefield has been chosen to symbolise the achievements of British forces on June 6th 1944 because no other part of the invasion front illustrates better the combined efforts of all three services. |
