Poole was one of the largest embarkation points for the D-Day landings in Normandy. Over 5,000 boats carrying more than 41,000 troops left from Poole harbour in June 1944. The Royal British Legion are hosting a short memorial service at 10.50 at the D-Day Memorial situated on the wall at Dolphin Quays, on the eastern end of Poole Quay.
Remembering all those who served during the D-Day landings on 6 June 1944.
Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Lest we forget.🌺
