Were any of your friends killed or wounded either during the landing or
during the day?
Not actually on this day

Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they became
casualties?

Were you wounded? Yes. In Holland October. 6th 1944

How were you wounded? By anti-personel bomb.

Do you remember what it was like -- that is, do you remember whether you
felt any pain or were you so surprised that you felt nothing?
Felt no pain at all at first until my wound
was dressed by First Aid unit

Do you remember seeing or hearing anything that seems funny now, even though
it may not have seemed amusing at the time? Or anything unexpected or out-
of-place?
When beaching our L.C.T. hit a mine just as
the loading ramp was down, and a dispatch
rider, unknown to me was killed.

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic, or simply memorable, that struck
you more than anything else?
Perhaps the church service held aboard our
L.C.T. on June 4th. when we were told our
departure would be delayed 24HRS. owing to
the rough weather.
Slipped anchor at 12 noon June 5th amid
an extremely choppy sea.
