The 119 brave Portsmouth men who died during D-Day or the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War

But your help is needed. Council leader Cllr Gerald Vernon-Jackson is calling on family members of those who died to supply photos in time for the D-Day 75 commemorations in June.

He said: ‘The D-Day landings were a pivotal moment in the Second World War and we want to honour those who took part in the campaign.

‘These plaques will allow us to remember those who died.’

The ages of the men range from 16 years from Private Robert Johns, who served with the Parachute Regiment and was killed on July 23, to 47-year-old Warrant Engineer William Smith who was killed on June 15 when HMS Mourne was torpedoed.
