William Leppard
Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
My father, Bill Leppard, was in the REME and celebrated his 30th
birthday on D Day. He remembers being transported in an old collier and
when the guns started firing he says, 'It was as though every grain of
coal dust was dislodged and we were covered in the stuff. It was
particularly annoying as we were next to a naval vessel where the
sailors all looked so spic and span!'
Bill Leppard is trying to trace
'Jock' Horne who was in the 27th Armoured Division - not very tall,
polite gentleman who was very proud of coming from Stirling Scotland and
who played the harmonica.
