Description |
Paul Crone interviews World War II veterans to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Hector Duff, aged 99 from the parish of Onchan on the Isle of Man, served with the Royal Tank Regiment of the 5th Infantry Division which landed on Gold Beach, Normandy on June 6th 1944. Hector was just 19 when he was called up, and had already fought in North Africa where he won the Military Medal. On D-Day the Americans were to his right landing on Omaha Beach and to his left were the Canadians landing on Juno Beach. Here he recounts his experiences and looks through old photos. |
