INTERVIEW WITH
LT. COL. HARDIE

Lt. Col. Hardie was in charge of the 90th Field Regiment
which landed in support of the Dorsets on Gold Beach.

Hardie, a typical British Officer and slightly pompous, is
included here only because he noticed precisely nothing as he was
landing except that: "There was a bit of stuff coming down. Didn't
hang around you know.” That was the understatement of the entire
interview.

He had some difficulty passing through a swamp after they
crossed the beaches but otherwise nothing much happened to him through-
out that day.

Refer to the papers and notes made on him. But that is all
that occured at the interview worth noting here.
