3 - £1000. Combined Operations Command
This memorial is dedicated to the hundreds of
thousands of servicemen and women from the three services of many Allied
countries who trained in amphibious landing techniques during World War
II and especially to those who did not return from the field of conflict
or who died during countless realistic training exercises.
We will remember them. |

A Nation’s Gratitude - Signal to Mountbatten of June 12,
1944
Today we visited the British and American Armies
on the soil of France. We sailed through vast fleets of ships with landing-craft
of many types pouring more men, vehicles and stores ashore. We saw clearly the
manoeuvre in progress of rapid development. We have shared our secrets in common
and helped each other all we could. We wish to tell you at this moment in your
arduous campaign that we realise how much of this remarkable technique and
therefore the success of the venture has its origin in developments effected by
you and your staff of Combined Operations.
(Signed) Arnold, Brooke, Churchill, King,
Marshall, Smut

5 - £2000 After the evacuation of the Allied Expeditionary
Force from the beaches of Dunkirk in the early summer of 1940 there was
no friendly held territory from which to launch a major assault against
the German forces. The only option was to invade from the sea.
It was soon realised that the three services would
need to work closely together to stand any chance of success against the
enemy so Churchill set up the Combined Operations Command. It
drew on the best strategists and planners from the Army, Navy and Air
Force. They soon produced plans to jointly train hundreds of thousands
of servicemen and women in large scale amphibious landings against
heavily defended enemy held shores.
They saw service in North Africa, Sicily, Italy,
France, Holland and the Far East and in countless smaller operations
from Norway to Madagascar. Most notable amongst them were the landings
on the Normandy beaches on D-Day, June 6th 1944.
Joint training in amphibious landings was
the major task of Combined Operations but under their remit to think
and plan for offensive operations they undertook daring and
imaginative Commando raids, used the latest technology in landing
craft design, radar and communications ships, floating harbours
(Mulberry), pipe line under the ocean (PLUTO), beach clearing tanks
(Hobart's Funnies) and even ships made of ice (Pykrete). Visit
