2.

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

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

Were you wounded? No

How were you wounded? —

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?
—

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?
—

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic, or simply memorable, that struck
you more than anything else?
I have never really been given to feelings
of patriotic fervor but as dawn broke on that day
I felt intensely proud of being British particularly
when the bombarding force opened up shot on
time having come over at varying speeds (ie-
battleships, cruisers & a monitor). Planes laid
a smoke screen & then all hell was let loose.
