I take it back...pic loaded wrong the first time...he is the head immediately to the left of the guy in helmet wearing the number twenty three.
His Glider Infantry regiment ended up only semding two gliders full of men in on D-Day to support anti tank operations and the rest went in on landing craft the afternoon of day two. This was supposedly due to running out of planes to tow gliders.
He was injured by shrapnel in France (I think the evening of day 2 or the morning of day 3.
He also landed during Market Garden.
He suffered a lot from his war experiences and watching the Iraq War on the news every day really took a toll on him.
Bay...you mind pinging the WA list?
“Head half-obscured guy”, or “guy between 23 and chin-resting-on-Ike’s-thumb guy”?
