Become a Guardian of the Memorial

Help the Trust guarantee the maintenance of the British Normandy Memorial with a regular donation, and through it, the continued remembrance of the 22,442 men and woman whose names are inscribed on it. The Trust is completely reliant on the generosity of the public to safeguard its future and long-term protection.

You will be the Guardians of the memory of one of the most momentous events in our recent history; Guardians of the remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom; and Guardians of the lessons from which future generations will benefit.

The Trust is supporting our D-Day Veteran and Memorial Ambassador Ken Cooke to recruit 247 Guardians to remember his 247 Green Howards comrades who never make it home. By joining Ken’s campaign as a Guardian you will receive:

A bespoke Guardian certificate, featuring the name of the Green Howard whose memory your support is protecting.

A copy of Always Remembered, our stunning hardback commemorative book.

And an exclusive Normandy Memorial Trust ‘shield’ badge.

Guardians also qualify for a 20% discount in the British Normandy Memorial Shop. Please contact julie.verne@normandymemorialtrust.org for your discount code.

*We ask that you commit a monthly donation of £10 for a minimum of 1 year if possible.*

If you would like your Guardianship to honour a specific fallen serviceman on the Memorial — or someone who was not a Green Howard — please let Julie know, and she will arrange a bespoke certificate for you.
