Our Grandpa was a territorial army officer, mobilised for the war and taking part in the D-Day landings. Like many he never spoke to us about his experiences. We pieced this together from some records we found and what our mum told us. He was in the Royal Army Service Corps, attached to the Northumberland Fusiliers before being seconded into the 3rd (Royal Northumberland Fusiliers) Reconnaissance Corps, landing on Gold Beach before serving throughout Western Europe.
