Venue: Green Howards Museum
Time: 19:00
In June 1943 the 10th Battalion of the Green Howards became the 12th (Yorkshire) Parachute Regiment.
A year later, they dropped into Normandy on D-Day and were given the job of taking and holding the village of Ranville, in support of the famous attack on Pegasus Bridge.
They also went on to fight during the last desperate German offensive in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944.
This Museum Talk explores both of these relatively unheralded actions, and confirms the adaptability, tenacity and fighting ability of the Yorkshiremen who came from the sky and who fought from Normandy to the Baltic.
