In times of great crisis, people generally show either great ingenuity
or self-reliance;others do incredibly strange or stupid things. Do
you remember any examples of either?

I remember one chap carrying two revolvers
and saying how many Jerries he bumped off.
and an officer in counter attack against an enemy
advance was wielding and thrashing the air with a Japanese
sword in his left hand whilst his sub-machine gun was
tucked under his right armpit and the strap tight around
his shoulder was yelling "come-on you shower" giving a
burst of fire forward.

Do you know of anybody else who landed within the 24 hours (midnight
5 June to midnight 6 June) either as infantry, glider or airborne troops,
whom we should write to?

I have in my possession every member's name
and rank of our "field amb" but
afraid no addresses.
my own brother in law with whom I went to
the first training camp K.R.R.S. Strensall
was killed on the beach at Normandy serving
with a machine gun battalllion

What do you do now?

Hoffman Pressing in a clorhing factory. I am now married and
have a daughter of 11 yrs. we have a small car and I never
miss any of the air-shows at Farnborough or Bibben-Hill
I love flying more so I would like still to be 'para-chuting'

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* Full
acknowledgement will be given in a chapter called "Where They Are Now*"
