Local D-Day Stories: Pompey Pals

Pompey Pals will honour just a few of the so many people from Gosport who were part of that momentous operation in 1944, D-Day.

These will include Ron Cross, who served with the Royal Engineers. He landed on Juno Beach on H-Hour, making him one of the first soldiers to storm the beaches. Ron was one of the lucky ones to survive the landings to return home and eventually share his memories and feelings of those times.

If you have records or stories of local family members who served at D-Day, come and share with the Pompey Pals.
