259479 L/Cpl. George Thomas Norton British Army 2nd Btn. Grenadier Guards from:Burton-on-Trent My father, George Norton always told his war stories. One was particularly horrific to us, but astonishing to him. I don't know where this happened, but his tank was caught by a land-mine and lost its tracks. Making sure his men got out, he sustained some bad burns to his legs and arms. He then jumped out and started to run across a cornfield. His best friend passed him, shouting "They might have my foot, but they're not getting me!".
