In World War II Mannix was more prepared to accept the justice of the Allied cause than he had been in World War I, and he supported the "Food for Britain" campaign that was organized in Australia. There is now a statue that represents the goods that Daniel Mannix has done for us right outside St Patrick cathedral in Melbourne’s city.

Operation Overlord or also known as D day occurred on June 9th, 1944. It was of major significance to our country and had its own influences on the wars we have fought since.
