Interested to read you think he served in both Normandy and Arnhem.....there weren't that many 'transfers' between the two divisons, so what evidence do you have????
Hi medic i spoke to the gent in question last year his name is HERB FUSSELL and he told me that he jumped on d-day with the 22nd and at arnhem with the 21st. Can find nothing on him at arnhem having checked first in and leading the way but during our conversation he mentioned a change of name possibly was RAMAGE or somthing that sounds like it i can find a ramage in 'Go to it' history of the 6th airborne divison but iam pretty sure it is not him.Anyway in my local paper yesterday there was a picture of herb at a veterans day event so i thought i would post on here in the hope of finding out more kind regards .Jason
