- for Cornelius Ryan 2 -
Your name Raymond Herlihy

Did you by any chance keep a diary of what happened to you that day? No-
the events were indelibly imprinted on my
mind & are capable of immediate recall.

Were any of your friends killed or wounded either during the landing or
during the day?
Scores of them

Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they became
casualties?
Yes - particularly in crossing a
rectangular field w/ 6 men - upon
reaching our intended spot I found
myself alone - one was killed the remainder
all seriously wounded. I recall very vividly
conversations w/ 3 of latter

Were you wounded? Not To Speak of.

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?
Injury was too minor - was surprised,
however, at my luck

Do you remember seeing or bearing anything that seems funny now, even
though it did not, of course, seem amusing at the time?
[inserted] tele? [end inserted]
Yes, an incident of a German attack
on the night of June 6TH - and
complete amazement at the incredible
actions of an old French woman
w/ her cows during a real sharp small arms fight.

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic, or simply memorable, which struck
you more than anything else?
Yes there are several of the above.
