    Pegasus Bridge

    Visit the site of the famous bridge of Benouville, 'Pegasus Bridge' as the latter came to be called, which was the first British objective to be captured on D-Day. Major John Howard's six platoons from D Company the 'Ox and Bucks' Light Infantry supported by Royal Engineer detachments captured the bridges after a 15- minute short skirmish. Total surprise was achieved.
