I for one will always remember the sacrifices you all made, my father who was also a sapper and landed on D-DAY +1 with the Middlesex Regiment. Went through much the same campaign as yourself. So there is still a generation or two who will always remember...
Well said Brian, well said. Not a bad post for your first in over 2 and a half years!

As you said, veteran's stories are so important for people to hear. This is why I will be rebuilding Brian Guy's website, and why my next project is a veterans' interview kit. I'm hoping that people take an interest in the sacrifice that these men made (in all wars), and help document it for all generations.
