D Day On June 6, 1944, about 150,000 troops stormed the beaches of France in the epic D-Day invasion, my dad in the navy served on HMS Duke of Wellington, his position was to work on the landing crafts, lucky that day he operated the ramp at the front of the landing craft. On his second journey that morning taking Canadian infantry men to Juno beach as the landing craft turned to go back to collect more men, a german shell made a direct hit on the back on the Landing craft, Dad was thrown in the water as was there four hours before being rescued.
