Storming Pegasus Bridge

This painted, polished, and lacquered slate coaster commemorates the legendary early hours of D-Day, 6th June 1944, when glider troops from D Company, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, led by Major John Howard, executed a daring assault on Pegasus Bridge over the River Orne.

Laser-engraved with a historically rich depiction of the moment and inscribed with a detailed narrative, the image highlights the glider-borne troops securing their objective within minutes—capturing surprise, strategy, and unshakable resolve. Hand-painted accents bring dimension to the monochrome design, while a clear lacquer finish adds both a smooth sheen and lasting protection. The rugged slate edges retain their raw texture, enhancing the authenticity and tactility of the piece.

An unforgettable tribute to airborne bravery, leadership, and precision—perfect for collectors, veterans, and WWII historians alike.
