1205799 Lt. Edward Neville Rudland British Army Royal Artillery My father, Edward Rudland joined the war, I think, at 19. He left his University at Oxford where he was studying medicine in order to fight. He was exempt because of his chosen profession.
He landed in Normandy on D Day + ? and was with an anti aircraft battery. He went to to Belguim .
I have many souvenirs, such as a piece of the shell that landed on his bunk, which he had left only moments before. He was injured when he hit a mine which he rode over on his motorbike.
