How lucky we were to have Geoff Young come
along to our recent Local
History Group when we were presenting "Heroes of "World War 2". He has
excellent recall, and was able to relate some of his experiences as a
driver/ stretcher bearer with the 4th Battalion of the Wiltshire
Regiment, following the Normandy landings in June 1944. We bombarded
him with questions and he in turn both thrilled and saddened us with
some of his experiences. It was hard to imagine how he and his fellow
soldiers could have survived with such good humour and faith from their
ordeal.
