DEAD MAN'S CORNER

Men of the 101st Airborne launch a lighting patrol across the bitterly contested road junction just outside the village of St Come-du-Mont on 8 June 1944.

FIRST TO LAND

Simon’s dramatic work serves as a tribute to all those who took part in the Normandy campaign, and in particular the elite band of French Commandos who landed at Sword Beach on that fateful morning.
 

 

MISSION COMPLETED


PEGASUS BRIDGE - AIRBORNE STORM

Let by Major John Howard, men of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry storm their way across Pegasus Bridge, just after midnight on the morning of 6 June 1944.
 

 

PEGASUS DAWN

Simon Smith’s masterful piece Pegasus Dawn portrays the scene a few days later at the Bénouville Bridge, later renamed ‘Pegasus’ after the British 6th Airborne’s flying horse emblem. Now reinforced by other units, including commandos, the British are in full control of the area, allowing free movement over the canal and river. Overhead Mk.IX Spitfires from 340 (Free French) Squadron RAF, part of 145 Wing, Second Tactical Air Force, provide fighter cover across the area.

READY FOR ANYTHING

An intricate study of a Sergeant from the British Parachute Regiment who has recently landed in Normandy on D-Day, 6 June 1944.
 

 

SAINTE MERE EGLISE

In the early hours of 6 June 1944, after a widely scattered drop, some in the Division’s 505th PIR found themselves landing right in the heart of the town, caught in the glowing light cast by a burning building. With the white silk of their parachutes clearly visible, many of the men hanging defencelessly beneath them were easy targets. The casualty rate was high but, after regrouping with other units, the men of the 82nd attacked in a ferocious assault and a fierce firefight with the German defenders soon erupted. By dawn it was over and with the capture of the town the Stars and Stripes now flew over Sainte-Mère-Église.

SAINTE MERE EGLISE – U.S. AIRBORNE TRIBUTE EDITION

Each print in this edition is issued with a specially commissioned original pencil drawing by Simon Smith which has been signed by two distinguished US Airborne veterans who jumped into Normandy on D-Day. It is also conservation matted to include the original pencil signatures of a further two veterans who served with the famous ‘Band of Brothers’, Easy Company, 101st Airborne.
