He really is my grandad landed on the beaches on d day, as a kid I was fascinated by it and always wanted to talk to him about it bit he never would, now hearing some of the stories of the things they remember (one guy saying as he looked at the beach he could still picture people laying there) there is no wonder he wouldn't talk about it. It will have always been with him until the day he died and I will always be thankful for what every one of them did for us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Cold special fried rice at 8:00am might just be the best food in the world - especially if you can find a couple of chips and a can of coke. Then into somebody else's car for a quick sleep whilst being driven to the next day's activities. I've had a couple of lost weekends around Worcester and Malvern like that. One ended prematurely when I fell off a trellis table dancing to an Oompah band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
