Mr. Lockyer tells us about being wounded and how that was his last day of service in Normandy.
Transcription
I was wounded the 10th of August at St. Alyre farm. Well we had been going all day and just, and I think it was around 7:00 or 8:00 at night and I was, we were right up against a hedgerow of trees so that in the shadows you couldn’t see us. A shell hit in the trees and shrapnel hit four of us and it killed the platoon commander. I got wounded on the shoulder, back and leg, so that ended my war.
