George Batts | Sapper George Batts MBE LdH After joining the Royal Engineers in 1943, George was just 18 when he landed on Gold Beach on the morning of D-Day. He spent most of the following days defusing mines and booby-traps on the beaches and clearing the area where the Mulberry Harbour was due to be constructed at Arromanches.

George later became National Secretary for the Normandy Veterans Association and Patron of the Normandy Memorial Trust, and was instrumental in securing the backing of the UK Government to build a lasting monument in Normandy to honour all British Armed Forces and civilian services who lost their live during the campaign. |
