Commissioned by the Normandy Veterans Association this commemorative medal is a tribute to those who took part in the famous Normandy Campaign of World War II and is available exclusively to veterans of the Normandy Campaign between 6th June and 20th August 1944.
The ribbon comprises the red, dark blue and light blue colours of the 1939-45 star arranged in a slightly different sequence. The centre in flame red represents the Army, which was carried on the mission by the Navy – represented by two bands of deep navy blue. These bands are in turn bounded by equal bands of blue-grey representing overall protection of the invasion by the Air Force.
The Normandy Veterans Association is the beneficiary of this project.
