Anthony Norris

British Army East Yorkshire Regiment

from:London

My uncle Anthony Norris was at Dunkirk with the BEF and landed at Ouistreham with East Yorks on D-Day. I understood that he was a Conscientious Objector and was therefore a stretcher bearer. I think his 'conversion' was between the two events. Later on, he rescued a Dutch man from a minefield and stepped on a mine that blew his foot off. He said that because it wasn't hurting at the time, carried on carrying him for which he was awarded the BEM.

I'd love to hear from anyone who knew him at all, as I know little else about his war, which was clearly interesting.
