In times cf 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?
Here I would rather confine myself to
my own personal reactions- as I felt a
great fear before anything happened- but as
soon as things started a calm descended on
me- especially if I was looking after someone.
With regards to this question apart from personal reactions
in the main I only saw what I should have expected from
my colleagues
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?

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.”

I'm sorry I've taken so long
to answer this questionnaire but I've been
very busy and still am at the moment and I
cannot find time to give fuller details on
seperate sheets.
