Charles Stewart Capel

British Army Kings Royal Rifle Corps

from:London

My grandfather, Charles Capel, was a motorcycle dispatch rider for the King's Royal Rifle Corps in WW2. He told me that he spent a lot of time in France and Holland. He also told me that his regiment landed on Juno beach DD+1.

One story that I'll never forget is him telling me that a German sniper, who was strapped in a tree, took a pot shot at him while he went off into the woods to go to toilet. He managed to escape unscathed and raised the alarm to the rest of his unit who dealt with the issue.
