60th Anniversary of D-Day
By Nick Hodge | June 6, 2004
60th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings. You've probably seen the deservedly saturation coverage on the TV news. Sadly, the 60th is probably the last major anniversary that the veterans will experience. As Stephen Ambrose has said, this generation was probably the greatest.
To give D-Day an Australian flavour: we did have sailors and airman who served during the Normandy campaign. In Arromaches, there is the Mus�e D�barquement. Inside the museum is a RAAF Hawker Typhoon pilot who died during the campaign (18th June 1944, flak). 25 year old Pilot Officer Don Mason from Wagga Wagga, NSW. He served in the 198th Squadron, RAF, Manston. His remains and plane were recovered in 1942. His service uniform was donated to the museum by the family.
