On a countermine being exploded by the enemy, the men at the face of the mine, of which Second Corporal G Smith, of the 176th Tunnelling Company, Royal Engineers, was in charge, were buried. Second Corporal smith was thrown about fifteen feet down the gallery by the explosion, and was badly bruised and shaken. But grasping the situation immediately, he ordered his men out of the gallery, into which gas was leaking. When found by his officers he was propping up a dangerous part of the gallery to ensure the rescue of his men. For his gallant conduct he was awarded the D.C.M.
Second Corporal smith propping up part of a mine gallery to ensure the rescue of his comrades.		 At 0016hrs on 6th June 1944 three Airspeed Horsa gliders, flown with outstanding skill by pilots from the Glider Pilot Regiment, and carrying airborne troops from the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and Royal Engineers, landed within yards of the bridge over the Caen Canal at Benouville, Normandy. The audacious attack achieved complete surprise, and some fifteen minutes later the bridge had been secured, an objective of vital importance to enable the advance of the Allied Liberation Forces on D-Day.

Operation Deadstick by Michael Turner		 Sapper William Hackett, of the Royal Engineers, was entombed with four others in a gallery owing to the explosion of an enemy mine. After working for twenty hours a hole was made through fallen earth and broken timber, and the outside party was met. Hackett helped three of the men through the hole, but refused to leave the fourth, which had been seriously injured. Meanwhile the hole was getting smaller, and finally the gallery collapsed. The rescue party worked desperately for four days, but the attempt to reach the two men failed. Hackett deliberately gave his life for his comrade, and in recognition of his most conspicuous bravery award of the V.C. was made.
