Gold Beach, Normandy, 6th June 1944 by David Pentland. [Original Drawing]

Royal Engineers Churchill AVREs of 6th Assault Regiment, 81st Squadron and DD Shermans of the 4/7th Dragoon Guards. Both units were part of perhaps the most important formation involved in the British and Canadian landings, the 79th Armoured Division or Funnies. Composed of a variety of armoured vehicles, designed to support the beach assault troops, they included mine flails, bunker busters, carpet layers, and amphibious tanks.
