Major John Howard and his men of D Company, 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, along with Royal Engineers and supporting troops of the British 6th Airborne Division, landed in Horsa gliders just yards from their objective - a vital bridge over the Caen Canal near Bénouville. Their mission was to seize and hold the bridge to prevent German counterattacks from reaching the eastern flank of the invasion beaches. The bridge was captured within minutes and held through fierce German counterattacks until relieved by forces advancing from Sword Beach. Signed.
