The D-Day Victoria Cross: The Actions of C.S.M. Stanley Hollis | June 1944

On the 6 June 1944, the 50th Northumbrian Division began landing on Gold Beach in Normandy. Among the units leading the Division ashore was the 6th Battalion, the Green Howards, who, against minimal opposition, began moving inland to secure its objectives. Involved in this advance was Company Sergeant Major Stanley Hollis who, on two separate occasions, displayed the utmost gallantry in not only singlehandedly securing a German strongpoint but also, later in the day, extracting two colleagues who were pinned down by heavy fire. These actions ultimately led to him being awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest Military decoration.
