On two sides of the world, the Devonshires and Dorsets were fighting simultaneous battles on the beaches of Normandy (2nd Devons & 1st Dorsets brought back from Italy for this big day) and pushing the Japanese back through the inhospitable terrain of Kohima and Imphal in the Far East.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
