MatchFuzee Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 From the Telegraph:- The monument will be unveiled on the 75th anniversary in 2019 and is likely to be sited at either of two beaches: Colville Montgomery, code-named Sword Beach, where there is already a statue of Field Marshal Montgomery; or else at Ver-sur-Mer, which was given the code name Gold Beach.
