Alan Capp landed at Normandy on the 7th of June 1944 after building the Mulberry Harbour. He was on harbour B at Arromanches as a Royal Engineer in an IWT Company. At some point became Chief Engineer. He went to Burma just after the war ended on boat ZC15 Ell-ovva-din, offloading food to the poor in the jungle from the rivers. The boat claimed 2 pet monkeys who one night chewed up 100 cigarettes. The monkeys hated women and would shout and show their teeth at passers by.
