To celebrate the 80th anniversary of D-Day on 6th June, Amersham-born museum trustee, Pete Healy is presenting a talk ‘Brian Healy – to D-Day & beyond’ which documents his father’s role skippering a landing craft full of Royal Marine commandos on to Normandy’s Sword Beach near Ouistreham just 105 minutes after the first landing. Pete’s researches have found a wealth of images and videos to create those tense moments as the huge fleet approached the Normandy coast. Pete’s talk goes on to also describe a further troop landing in Burma shortly before the end of the war with Japan.
