Sgt. Leonard George White
British Army Royal Artillery
My late father, Sgt Leonard George White, served with the Royal Artillery on Light AA Bofors Guns. On 8th June 1944 he landed on Gold Beach and during subsequent weeks provided anti-aircraft protection to what I understood to be the Green Howards around Caen. I visited villages with him such as St Contest, Villers Bocage where he was in action before being hospitalised in Bayeux. There were events he never wanted to talk about and whilst this information is unretrievable, I would like to know more about the actions in which he served with the Green Howards.
