In conjuction with
NEWMP, a little known Brigade much forgotten by Military History will be on display at the above event. If you have any stories, memorabilia, photos or souvenirs of this Brigade, John Dixon would be most interested in having your contact details.
This Brigade, made up of the 10th, 11th and 12th Battalions of the DLI in the Second World War, had the Battle Honours of The Odon Valley, Juvigny, and Mezidonis to its credit. It was part of the 49th British (West Riding) Division. However, this does not distract from the heavy casualties it suffered in the Normandy campaign.
John Dixon is ensuring that this Brigade is forever remembered and recorded for the future.
