| Hi Gents,
My partners grandad was with the 3rd Battalion Scots in Normandy.
He was killed at Hill 239 Les Loges on 30 July 1944, after being in France for just 10 days.
We only have one photo of him, (see the post in Searching for someone).
Just need to find out what job he had on Churchills, really hoping our request to the Scots Guards Association gets something.
Best Regards
Mark

My brief sweet life is over, my eyes no longer see,
No summer walks - no Christmas Trees - no pretty girls for me,
I've got the chop, I've had it, my nightly ops are done
Yet in another hundred years, I'll still be twenty-one
