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?
I think in such instances as those
[illegible] men are possessed of great fear,
not of the enemy but just of themselves
my prayer was for the courage to do
what I had to and so I think did lots
of others. I remember a young German boy
who had just been Killed on the Beach
and our platoon Sgt Miller propping his cycle
up against him to pump up his Rear tyre.

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?
No

What do you do now?
I am at the moment employed by London transport as a Bus [?Con?] living
in one Room and kitchen with my wife and five children. A great finish!!!

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."
