COMBINED OPERATIONS COMMAND. This memorial is dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of personnel from the three services of Allied Nations who served in Combined Operations, were trained by them in amphibious landings techniques or took part in joint operations in World War II, including D-Day. It is especially dedicated to those who did not return from the field of conflict, died during realistic training exercises or suffered lifelong mental and physical trauma. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
