Sergeant Harold Liversedge was among the glider-borne troops of the Ox and Bucks who captured Pegasus Bridge in the first action of D-Day. Landing at 00:16 on 6 June 1944, just minutes after midnight, his platoon stormed the bridge in a coup de main operation that lasted just ten minutes. The capture of this vital crossing over the Caen Canal was critical to preventing German armoured reinforcements from reaching the beaches.
Biography (Russian)
Сержант Гарольд Ливерседж был среди десантников Оксфордширского и Бакингемширского полка, захвативших мост Пегас в первой операции Дня Д. Высадившись в 00:16 6 июня 1944 года, его взвод штурмовал мост в операции, занявшей всего десять минут. Захват этого переправы через канал Кан имел решающее значение для предотвращения подхода немецких бронетанковых подкреплений к пляжам.
