Your name Harry L. Brown

In times of great crisis, people generally show either great ingenuity or
self-reliance; others do incredibly stupid things. Do you remember any
examples of either from D-day?
The men and officers in our Company displayed all the good
qualities to make the invasion a success.

Where were you at midnight on June 5, 1944?
Aboard the troop carrier on the Channel

Where were you at midnight on June 6, 1944?
Just outside St. Marie Eglais

Do you know of anybody else who landed within the 24 hours of D-day, June 6,
as infantry, glider or airborne troops, or who took part in the air and sea
operations, whom we should write to?

I have a company roster of names and home addresses which
you may borrow.
I shall be available for interview if you desire.
note my present address: 1040 Broadacre Avenue
Clawson, Michigan

PLEASE LET US HAVE THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SO THAT WE CAN
INCLUDE YOUR EXPERIENCES IN THE BOOK. WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE YOUR
STORY ON SEPARATE SHEETS IF WE HAVE NOT LEFT SUFFICIENT ROOM. RILL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WILL BE GIVEN IN A CHAPTER CALLED "WHERE THEY ARE NOW;"
YOUR NAME AND VOCATION OR OCCUPATION WILL BE LISTED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
