The Staffordshire Hoard is one of the great discoveries of British archaeology, an unparalleled treasure of the early Anglo-Saxon period. Chanced upon in summer 2009, in an ordinary field north of Birmingham, its hundreds of objects of the 6th to 7th centuries AD amount to a total of 4kg of gold and 1.7kg of silver. An archaeological excavation at the site was followed by a dedicated research project to understand why this trove of warriors and kings was buried, and what part it had played in the bloody cauldron of conflict that shaped early England.

Drafted early in 1941, Billy Condon never could have imagined that he would go into combat in a “flying coffin”, a combat glider, leading his men into Holland. After boot camp in the 125th Infantry, he was part of Eisenhower’s staff during the Louisiana Maneuvers, then after Pearl Harbor, he was sent to California for coast patrol. Not one to miss opportunities, he socialized with celebrities, trained recruits, and explored the highlights of California for two years. But in March of 1944, he and 800 men of his regiment were ordered to England in anticipation of the Normandy invasion. Arriving on the eve of D-Day he was held back, assigned to the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division, and began jump training as a Pathfinder.

As D-Day unfolded on June 6, 1944, one of the ships supporting the invasion was the HMS Belfast, a Royal Navy light cruiser. Now a popular floating museum on the Thames, the Belfast played an important part not just in the events of that day, but in the longer Battle for Normandy.
