The Pegasus Bridge showing shrapnel scars resulting from German artillery.

 

The memorial plaque to the first British soldier lost in action on D-day.  It is my understanding that he was the first

The present day Pegasus Bridge.  On the right hand side of the pictures is a small memorial marking the spot
where the first British glider landed and caught the enemy by surprise.
