My dad, my hero. Landed on Gold beach as part of 1st Dorsets, the assault battalion. This after several years on Malta during the siege of that island, followed by 2 assault landings, Sicily and Italy. The greatest generation we have known! Proud to be his son. Thank you, and all your generation, for our peace and future. RIP dad.
