The four lads who fell in Northern Ireland, I personally knew two of them and Major French was the Officer Commanding the Rifle Company that I was attached to.
During the period 1998 - 2002 I undertook a major photographic documentary project with the surviving members of the Hull & District Branch of the Normandy Veterans Association. I got to know all those listed above who survived the horrors of WWII to fade away in old age.
It just seemed very appropriate to upload the above photograph and mention all those who have served their country (some who fell, others who survived but eventually faded away).
The above image is from my The Normandy Veterans - Lest We Forget Project, 1998-2002.
Former 24296655 Cpl TD Betts. 2 Royal Anglian 1979-88.
