These are the veterans featured in "Veterans' Voices - The History of the Battle of Normandy with 12 Portraits of Canadian Veterans", a temporary exhibit in the main hall of the Juno Beach Centre.

Four members of the Dutch "Prinses Irenebrigade". We had a quick chat with two of them. They landed in Arromanches after D-day, but this year they were invited to attend the ceremony in Bernieres-sur-Mer.

Some really good pictures, both then and now. Although focussed on the US contribution (as ever when it´s about Normandy ) luckily there is Commonwealth content as well.
