'We forget D-Day's legacy at our peril'
Western Mail
|June 07, 2025
A CHAPLAIN whose grandfather fought in the Second World War commemorated the 81st anniversary of D-Day by warning “we forget it at our peril”.
The Rev Simon d’Albertanson, a Royal Navy chaplain and the chaplain for the Spirit of Normandy Trust, led a memorial service at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, describing D-Day as a “seminal moment in history”.
He reminded veterans, officials and members of the public that the legacy of D-Day was vital given the conflict and “troubled times that we live in”.
The Normandy landings took place on June 6, 1944, when Allied forces opened a Second Front by invading Nazi-occupied France.
A total of 4,414 Allied troops were killed on D-Day itself.
Mr d’Albertanson said: “This was a seminal moment in history, and we forget it at our peril.”
