A bout 25 years or so I was asked to do some garden jobs , for this old man in the village . Got to know him quiet well ,he told me over a cup of tea ,that he was in the Hampshires ,he was in the first wave that went over the top on July 1 ,I asked him why he survived the on that fateful day . He remarked that after the corn reapers had cut the corn their woud be single stalks of corn left standing in the field , he told me that he kept repeating to him self ,I am one of those stalks of corn , that's all he said about the subject. All so my grandad was gassed and lost his hand due to gas gangrene, he was 50 when he died due to him having gassed lung disease , that's what my nan and dad told me only seen pictures of him ,one in uniform . Some of those boys wher only 14 on that day,said they wher 16 years of age God bless them .

Morning all ,just thinking of that great day when all the diffrent, young men gave their lives to free Europe.did you know any one who took part ,we had good family freind.went to visit him one day.he was putting up miniature comando battle plaques ,I said how did get them because you had to be in the comandos toget them . then he told me that he was in the Hampshirers but because he was a bit of bad boy his words not mine he was given the choice of going to army prison ,or make his way to Scotland to join a new outfit .he done his training passed .was put in Lord lovetes unit became NR4 comando he survived deipe . On June the 6 their mission was to relev the glider unit at Pegasus bridge .a few years ago went to visit the beaches and the bridge . We have went to the cafe to have drink and to look at the photos to look for our friend bod. When doing this a airborne veteran came up to us ,got talking to him explained why we their .he said to me do you who I am , I said airborne he then told me have you seen the longest day where the corpual kicks in the door, I said yes he said I am that corpual who kicked that door In on d day .overd to buy him a drink said no thanks I don't buy my food or drinks they are free, shook his hand and said than you then replied ,thank you for your friend and comrades for reliveing U.S. You don't what people have done until you start talkin to them , our good friend Bob died ten years ago he was a proud man I woud not have known he was in the comandos ,until I had spoken about the plaques

My auntie and uncle have not spoken to each other since 1970 when my nan died , it was after the funeral back At my nans house it was over 10 shillings or 50p and the the spindriier . They would not go their brothers funerals but did come to my mums funeral uncle drove down to Hampshire went to the church then drove strait back aunty came

When I bought my new 250 Honda in 1970 ,my uncle did not speak to for a year . Asked my aunty wat I had done to up set him ,she said ask your dad so I did .he told me he was pow he was badly treated and lost two good mates working on the Burma railway . I never saw him with with out a shirt or In shorts.that probably explains it ,he never forgave the Japanese .but we made up .we cannot change history
