- LOOKING TO THE FUTURE -

As time goes by younger generations gradually take over the roles of preserving our collective memory of the past and adding to our understanding of it. Since you're reading this it's likely that you have a particular reason for being here. Perhaps you're doing research for a school, college or personal project or perhaps you're aware that your grandfather, or even great-grandfather, was involved in Combined Operations during World War 2. Whatever your reason for being here you are especially welcome. (Photo; a US veteran meets young people at the 60th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6 2004).

If you'd like to read a brief account of what a WW2 Combined Operation was there's a link at the bottom of this page. We aim to update the site regularly from archive material and information provided by visitors. If your family history includes Combined Operations you may have information of interest to other visitors. It may be in the form of old photographs, diary entries, newspaper cuttings, poems etc. If you have anything that you would be happy to add to the site then write to us via the contact button at the bottom of this page.

Good luck!
