Newspaper article
This newspaper article on Rifleman Worthington stated that he had been wounded and survived D-Day. In fact, the initial report was in error and he died of his wounds on June 6, 1944. This article was obtained by Mrs. Josie McQuade from a Toronto paper in 1944 and preserved by her till the present. -
