The Commandos were tasked with linking up with the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry who had captured Pegasus Bridge by landing by glider in the early hours of the morning of D-Day. At 13:00 the Commando's arrived at the bridge to relieve the glider borne troops.
The Commandos advanced across the bridge to the sound of Piper Millin's pipes.
