The Overlord Embroidery Booklet

The Overlord Embroidery is a unique 83-metre-long textile tribute to the sacrifice and heroism of those who took part in Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, on 6 June 1944. The start of the Embroidery clearly shows what was happening in Britain on the 'Home Front'. It shows the building of ships and planes, Women's Land Army in the fields and children wearing gas masks.

This fascinating booklet details some of the work.
