  • D Day. Pegasus Bridge

    D Day. Pegasus Bridge

    Six Halifax bombers with gliders in tow
    spearheading the lord mayors show.
    Horsa gliders, no going back
    packed with men ready for attack.

    Bridges on the Orne river and Caen canal
    allied armies wanting free travel.
    Ox and Bucks glider men
    planned to free and hold for them.

    The Germans took by surprise
    not much time to agonise.
    Just ten minutes then Pegasus fell
    Major Schmidt would feel Hitler’s hell.

    The consequences had Pegasus failed
    Airborne forces cut off and circled.
    Freedom of movement for German tanks
    to the Ox and Bucks the world owes thanks.
