My father told few tales of his time in the landings and the fighting through France. Many he recalled with tears in his latter years, recalling the horrors he had seen as an 18 year old. He spoke of the bitter fighting around Caen, of mistaken identities and the deaths of his mates. May we never forget they gave their tomorrow for our today. I have a newspaper cutting (undated) showing Len Doyne, Willy Hazledene,
Titch Ludden Grey and Sgt McKendrick advancing on Caen.
