Gold Beach 60 Years On is a WW II re-enactment association that was set up to run a very successful event that took place in June 2004 at Ver sur Mer in Normandy, France.

The objectives of the organisation were to set up and run a WWII Living History camp in Normandy for the June 2004 commemorations and to initiate and maintain a long-term working relationship between British WWII re-enactment groups and the communities close to Gold Beach.

The event was such a great success for all concerned that we were persuaded to keep the organisation together and run future events for re-enactors of British WWII units. Which we did - elsewhere on this site you'll fiind photos from our 60th Anniversary Liberation of Jersey event in May 2005.

Ver sur Mer

A village of approximately 1500 people, situated at the far eastern end of Gold Beach – between Coursuelles and Arromanches on the D514. It has a post office, small supermarket, butchers and baker’s shops, a restaurant and five bars, two of which are restaurants also. Ver sur Mer is also home to the small but very interesting America-Gold Beach museum, which has kindly agreed to partially sponsor, financially, the Living History camp project.

Sponsorship

The organisers of the event would like to thank our sponsors

• The America/Gold Beach Museum
• The commune of Ver sur Mer
