The dramatic story, told in 'free-cantering' verse, of the capture of Pegasus and Horsa Bridges during the opening minutes of D-Day, 1944.
This book is a dramatised account of the critical operation to capture Pegasus Bridge by Allied forces in 1944, in the opening stages of D-Day. It is based on an earlier show and DVD presentation by the same author, with original words and music that set the event within the history of previous cross-Channel campaigns. This account draws on the memories of some of those involved and the author's own experience of serving in the same regiment.
Profits from the sale of this work have always gone to the support of veterans.

The renovations will make the building fully wheelchair-accessible and provide new spaces for resources and workshops for veterans, to help them live happy and productive lives.
