ACME Whistles
ACME Whistles, world-leader in whistle design, innovation and manufacture is calling out to D-Day veterans and their relatives to find what have been coined ‘The Lost Clickers’ of the D-Day landings.
Supported by The Royal British Legion and intended to meaningfully mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, ACME Whistles is searching for original ‘Clickers’ issued to the American Airborne Division as a vital piece of survival equipment. Paratroopers were dropped into darkness behind enemy lines on the night before D-Day, if they were not alone when they landed, or later detected someone close by, they were to click once. Two clicks in reply meant friend, no response meant something else.
