Pte. James Mason Shields
British Army Green Howards
My Father, Jimmy Shields, was wounded in the D Day campaign and spent 3 days on Gold Beach before he was evacuated back to England. He was only a young lad of 18 years and had seen so much of the world, Egypt, Middle East, North Africa Sicily and North West Europe.
Dad eventually emigrated to Australia. A far cry from his family in Whitehaven and the family tradition of mining.
