or self-reliance; others do incredibly strange or stupid things. Do

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."
