andy1960 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hello Andy, Hey that was me, picked your uncle up on the way back from the beaches D-day 2009. Made my day, to help a stranded DR. Often wondered who he was, I tried to take a picture of him climbing out of my truck, but he was having none of it, and was out before i could find my camera. I guess your the chap i left at the side of the road? [ATTACH=CONFIG]72628[/ATTACH] Hi Many thanks ....I wondered who it was .. He was 82 years old and spent 5 days on the back on my M20 without complaint!... He was in Royal Engineers at the tail end of WW2 in India.The most emotional moment for me was on Utah beach, when he said to a Royal Marine who took GIs in " Thanks for doing what you did. ..so I did not have to ".. brought a teat to my eyes...Sadly Uncle Keith is no longer with us...but thats another story !! Pm me with your contact details and I will send you some pics and and some more info thanks Again Andy Biddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
