Your name Robert Borden Forbes

In times of great crisis, people generally show either
great ingenuity or self-reliance others do incredibly stupid
things. Do you remember any examples of either from D-Day?
My Company showed courage and self-reliance during the landing and
throughout the balance of the campaign.

Where were you at midnight on June 5, 1944?
On board ship in the English Channel.

Where were you at midnight on June 6, 1944?
Tailleville.

Do you know of anybody else who landed within the 24 hours
of D-day, June 6, as infantry, glider or airborne troops,
or who took part in the air and sea operations, whom
we should write to?

PLEASE LET US HAVE THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,
SO THAT WE CAN INCLUDE YOUR EXPERIENCES IN THE BOOK. WE
HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE YOUR STORY ON SEPARATE SHEETS
IF WE HAVE NOT LEFT SUFFICIENT ROOM. FULL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
WILL BE GIVEN IN A CHAPTER CALLED "WHERE THEY ARE NOW;"
YOUR NAME AND VOCATION OR OCCUPATION WILL BE LISTED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP .
