Victoria Frances
The Sole Victoria Cross of Operation Overlord
6th June 1944 saw the greatest invasion force ever land on the beaches at Normandy just a couple of hours after thousands of paratroopers had dropped in Nazi occupied France. D-Day was eventually underway.
1000s of Allied troops landed at the five beaches of Normandy; Gold, Sword, Juno, Omaha and Utah. There were countless acts of bravery but there was just one single Victoria Cross granted on D-Day. It had been granted to CSM Stan Hollis who landed on Gold Beach.
Hollis was an experienced veteran who had previously seen action at Dunkirk, El Alamein and Sciliy. He'd already been taken prisoner by Rommel's Afrika Korps but had managed to escape to rejoin the war.
Self-discipline wise, Hollis was not really a model soldier yet on D-Day, there was no doubting his talents as a soldier. He'd also been recommended for a Distinguished Conduct Medal while fighting in Italy and it was as his part of the offensive on the Mont Fleury Battery that Hollis gained his Victoria Cross in action with the Green Howards regiment.
While his company, advanced away from the coast, he noticed 2 pillboxes had been side stepped. As Hollis went along to check out, the Germans within commenced shooting. Hollis attacked them and cleared both pillboxes acquiring quite a few pows in the act. This permitted the main exit from the beachfront to remain open.
Later during the same day at the village of Crepon, Hollis engaged the enemy with his Bren gun to free 2 British soldiers who were stuck in a building. He successfully freed both men. The valour shown by Hollis in Normandy on D-Day saved many British lives and he was given the Victoria Cross. He was wounded in September of that year and the next month was awarded his medal by King George VI. Nowadays, his medal is on display at the Green Howards Museum in Yorkshire together with a few other Victoria Cross awarded in combat to other soldiers of the regiment.

Artists similar to Victoria Frances?
Im doing my art gcse at the moment and last week we got given our exam paper with titles to chose from for our final piece. The title i have chosen is Green and want to relate it to nature and fantasy, in a somewhat gothic style if possible. My only problem is that we need to have an artistic reference for our work. I would have liked to use Victoria Frances however i cant find any of her pictures that link in with the theme of green as well as linking in with my ideas for the picture. So does anyone know any other artists like her who draw similar gothic fantasy (preferably including fairies)
The artist we chose doesnt have to be well known we just need an artist whos work we can look at and copy to fit in with what we are doing (like with my coursework i chose Matsuri Hino and if you arent an anime fan it is highly likely that you would never have heard of her before)
