JDT are the proud sponsors of D-Day to VE Day Grand Tour

We’re incredibly proud to share details of a truly special initiative led by our very own Robert Wiles (Sharky) and Kevin Delves (Kev).

They have meticulously organised a unique charity event commemorating the 80th anniversaries of D-Day to VE Day, a significant journey across France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.

This remarkable event retraces the exact route of the 13th/18th Royal Hussars (QMO) as they fought their way across North-West Europe in WWII, from the beaches of D-Day to the liberation at the end of the war in Northern Germany. It offers a rare and profound opportunity to experience history first-hand, with a chance to even secure a seat in an 80-year-old Jeep during the next bidding round in October.

Robert, an ex- Lt Colonel and our Executive Chairman, and Kevin, an ex- Warrant Officer Class 1 and RSM and our Company Secretary, have poured their dedication and military expertise into ensuring this is a meticulously organised and deeply impactful journey. Their aim extends far beyond raising awareness and funds; it is to honour the incredible bravery and sacrifice of those who fought, ensuring their stories resonate and are remembered for generations to come.

We encourage you to learn more about this fascinating and meaningful endevour, and how you might support their efforts to keep these vital memories alive. We at JDT are truly inspired by Robert and Kevin’s commitment to remembrance and their outstanding achievement in bringing this project to life.
