A nation that forgets its past has no future.’ These words by Winston Churchill could not be more apt to describe the purpose of this series of booklets, of which this is the third. As Minister for Veterans I believe that we should continue to remember the bravery of our Armed Forces during the Second World War; without their efforts and sacrifices, our lives today would be very different. These booklets will commemorate various Second World War actions, and aim not only to remember and commemorate those who fought and died, but also to inform future generations of the sacrifices made by those who fought. The inspiration that can be derived from their stories will be invaluable for their future. I want to help those growing up now to be aware of the veterans’ sacrifices, and of the important contributions they made to our security and to the way of life we enjoy today. I hope that this series will have relevance beyond these events as well as serving as a memento of the 60th anniversary commemorations. By our own actions today, we are aiming to pass on the baton of remembrance to future generations.
