British Steel was used to make landing craft that carried troops to storm the beaches of northern France on D-Day, paving the way for the end of World War Two.

The naval island is where the Navy developed the Higgins boat — the pivotal landing craft that ferried troops to the beaches of Normandy during the D-day invasion.

But after stormy weather in late May, four landing craft involved in the operation broke loose and were washed ashore.

As D-Day approached, Lamb was assigned the task of creating charts for the landing craft crews who would deliver troops to the Normandy beaches.

There she created maps for the landing craft that were central to the amphibious attack.
