I have just written an article about someone I knew who never mentioned he was involved in D-Day. It was not until we attended his funeral that it was mentioned in his eulogy. As a young man aged just 19, he piloted a landing craft running men and equipment into the beaches on the momentous day.
He never spoke about it. Just imagine what bravery you'd need to do that and how being so young, what horrors and images you saw.
Amazing, brave men all of them and our they fought for our future. It's a pity that today's 19 year olds would give it all away without thought.
