Allied troops gathered in large numbers.
By spring 1944, the Second World War had been raging across the globe for about five years. But along the south coast of England, something unusual was happening: Allied troops made up mainly of British, Canadian and American soldiers were gathering in large numbers. This marked one of the final stages of a top-secret operation that had been months, perhaps years, in the planning. Code-named “Operation Overlord”, it was the largest combined sea, air and land operation in history, the aim being to free North-west Europe from German occupation. After waiting for the perfect combination of weather, moon and tides, the date for the start of Operation Overlord was set for 6 June.

Opposing War, Embracing Peace
In today's troublous world, war continues to cast a dark shadow over humanity. It tears families apart, devastates communities, and halts progress in its tracks. The suffering it inflicts is incalculable, leaving scars that last generations.
Yet, peace offers a beacon of hope. It nurtures growth, fosters cooperation, and allows societies to thrive. In peace, education flourishes, healthcare improves, and economies prosper. It is the foundation upon which we build a better future for all.
Therefore, we must stand united in our opposition to war and our love for peace. Only through peace can we ensure a world where every individual has the opportunity to live a fulfilling life, free from fear and destruction. Let us strive for peace, cherish it, and work tirelessly to achieve it.
