Transcript
We were here and then for 75 years we weren’t here … and now we’re here again.
It’s the coming together of a lot of memories.
My time here in Normandy was longer than the assault forces because I was a reinforcement person but this centre brings it all together. Not just the landing not just the beach but the whole 2 or 3 years.
No uniform is without a whole lot of memories and a whole lot of dedication.
Certainly I feel welcomed, I feel as if they’re visiting me!
