During the D-Day commemorations, acclaimed photographer and long-time friend of the Taxi Charity, Robin Savage, officially opened his latest exhibition, Go To It, at Memorial Pegasus Museum on 5 June.
The exhibition features a powerful collection of portraits of men who served in the 6th Airborne Division during the Second World War. Every soldier in the division was a volunteer, united by a determination to make a difference in the fight for freedom. As young men, they demonstrated exceptional courage and resilience in both training and combat, and in later life they carried those experiences with quiet dignity and enduring pride.
Conceived and generously produced by the Memorial Pegasus Museum, Go To It stands as a moving tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of these remarkable veterans.
Robin Savage said: “It has been one of the greatest honours of my life to spend time with these extraordinary men, each of whom volunteered to face the most extreme dangers of war. I want to help ensure they are never forgotten. These portraits are my way of saying thank you for the immeasurable sacrifice they made and for the legacy they leave behind.”
Among those featured in the exhibition is William “Bill” Gladden, whose niece, Taxi Charity Ambassador Kaye Gladden-Thorpe, attended the opening while supporting the charity in Normandy.
Kaye said: “Uncle Bill passed away in 2024 at the age of 100. He was a regular on Taxi Charity trips and absolutely loved everything about the charity, so it felt especially poignant to be in Normandy when Robin officially opened the exhibition. Although I had seen the portrait before and was present when it was taken, seeing it displayed so beautifully was incredibly moving. It is a comfort to know that this wonderful man, and all his comrades from the 6th Airborne Division, will continue to be remembered for their courage and the vital role they played in securing our freedom.”
The Exhibition is open until 31 August 2026 at Pegasus Memorial, 1 Avenue du Major Howard, 14860 Ranville.
