| I was at Pegasus Bridge from the word go. helped defend it, have a look at Hillman, the huge German defensive position. I slept on top of it amongst the German dead. Our officer won the Creux de geurre at Hillman
Have a look at Sword Beach, the heaviest defended of all the Normandy Beaches,
Have a look at the "Bloodiest square Mile in Normandy" The Chateau de la Londe, See Le Bisley wood. Have a look at Hermanville where there is a small museum run by my good friends, Colette and Jaques Tirard. you may even see my ugly mug on the wall.
Then do me a favour, and remember. "For me"...all my mates that fell on the killing gounds. North of the City of Caen. I am too severely injured to return to honour their memory.
Thanks Sapper.
