208035 Pte. Albert James Winter British Army Dorset Regiment from:Bristol My Dad, Albert Winter, took part in the Normandy landings with the Dorset Regiment. He said they had to try to take a hill which I now know was Hill 112. He didn't talk about the war much, but I know he lost 2 brothers during the war one was killed at Anzio, the other was shot down over France on the way back from a bombing mission, he was seconded to the Canadian Air Force. My father was born in Barton Hill in Bristol in 1919, he had a what we think today as a hard childhood but was probably the norm in those days, no shoes, taking it in turns with his siblings for the top of his father's boiled egg, but like most people in those days,he just got on with it. Sadly he died of cancer in 1999 after yet another struggle. In my eyes my father is a hero, and so are all the others that gave or risked their lives for our freedom.
