D-Day 82 National Golf Auction
The Normandy Memorial Trust is proud to announce the D-Day 82 National Golf Auction — a special fundraising initiative dedicated to ensuring that the legacy of all those who served and fell during the Normandy campaign is never forgotten.
A huge thank you to the 378 golf clubs who have already pledged their support for the D-Day 82 National Golf Auction!
Your generosity is helping us honour the legacy of a generation who, in Harry Billinge’s words, “saved the world”—and, crucially, support the next through our education programme at the British Normandy Memorial.
You have the opportunity to bid for one or more prizes – 2,3 and 4 balls at some of golf’s most exclusive venues.
Every contribution will help us ensure that future generations understand the stories, sacrifice and significance of D-Day through our growing education work at the Memorial.
Is your club on the list?
If not, why not help get them involved?
Many clubs will only consider a donation if approached by a member—so if you’re part of a club not yet listed, we’d love your help in making that introduction.
Deadline – Sunday 24 May 2026.
Email: golf@britishnormandymemorial.org
And if you’d like to take part as a bidder, the auction will launch in the week of 25 May 2026.
Register your interest on the email above to be among the first to hear.

All funds raised will directly support the Memorial’s education programme — a core mission of the Trust and a cause close to the hearts of many Normandy veterans. Their enduring wish was that future generations should understand the scale of their sacrifice and the values they fought to defend.
This initiative is a fitting tribute to all who served — honouring their memory not just in stone, but through learning and remembrance.
In memory of Harry Billinge MBE and many other veterans who campaigned and fundraised tirelessly to make the Memorial and Education Centre a reality – please join us in helping to continue their legacy through education.
“Don’t call me a hero. I’m no hero, I was lucky. ‘I’m here. All the heroes are dead, and I’ll never forget them as long as I live”
