This is to Honour my grandfather Andre Bernard, Keiffer commando, the only French military personnel to land on French soil on D-Day. We only found he was still alive in 1980 living in Poitiers, France and we then spent some holidays together. Grandad died on 17th December 2002 and will always be a hero in my eyes.
