Harry landed on Juno beach (Nan Red). He was with 48 Royal Marine Commando - Z troop. He was 19 and a couple of weeks old. Harry moved on through parts of France for several weeks. He also was at Walchren on 1st November1944 where he was later billeted. So proud of you, even though we do not know everything you did, just glad you managed to survive when so many of your comrades fell. You will always be our hero.
