205829 Pte. Henry John Guidotti Btitish Army 1st Btn. Royal Norfolk Regiment from:East London This is the story my Mum tells about my late Father. He was injured on D-Day and was thought to be dead, until by a stroke of luck someone saw his eye flicker. No details I'm afraid as Dad didn't talk about the War but I do have his Soldier's Service and Pay Book. I would love to hear from anyone who knew him or, if possible, I would like to know where he was shipped back to. I have the large lump of shrapnel that was removed from his neck, it has tiny numbers on it (A39) is all that is discernable it is light weight and silver coloured. I have page 5/6 of the NAAFI News with a picture of Dad and L/C Farrow and Cpl. Plinstone the title being "The Three Musgetbeers". Lorraine Knight Add to this record.  Additional Information: I don't know if you read my piece concerning my father Harold "Dick" Farrow but I believe he was one of the people your Father from S company was with. I have the "Yellow Flash" for the time they all got demobbed and it mentions the Three Musketeers but it has your father, my father and a L/C Sidell, not Plinstone. If you have the picture it would be great, I have some pictures that your father may be in but I don't know.

The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items. The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.
