Gnr. David Simpson

British Army Royal Artillery

from:Edinburgh

My dad David Simpson seldom spoke to me about the war, preferring to tell my brother man to man. He was rescued from the water, I think from HMS Orion. He told no one of this at home, however his cousin was the skipper of the boat which rescued him. After this incident, we believe that he was posted to the Faroe Islands, perhaps for rest and recuperation it is thought. He did speak often of that posting which he found bleak.
