MAP
By Don Petch
Don has kept one of the maps issued to troops for the Normandy landings on D-Day. Having been evacuated from Dunkirk in 1940 - Don's later role was to help compile information about the beaches the Allied forces would later land on in their thousands. It's a time to remember old comrades and pay respects to those who didn't return.
