Joining artist Simon Smith every print has been personally signed by one of the great heroes of World War II:

  • Lieutenant Colonel JAMES 'MAGGIE' MEGELLAS

Officially recognised as ‘the most-decorated officer in the history of the US 82nd Airborne Division’, James ‘Maggie’ Megellas commanded a platoon in ‘H’ Company, 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division.

    Taking part in the crossing of the Waal River in flimsy assault boats under heavy fire, Megellas single-handedly attacked and destroyed a powerful German machine-gun and Observation post, an action for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross – America’s second-highest decoration.
