June 6th 1944
– a pivotal moment of the Twentieth Century when the Free World decided to take back what had been overthrown by the Nazis. Here’s a fresh faced army courier strapped into a Horsa glider, with his Matchless ride, bound for Normandy.

Great picture, one I have certainly never seen before. My uncle was a despatch rider having landed in France on D-day.. he was always a bit reserved after his wartime service.. he had lost almost all of his pals, on duty during the conflict. I only knew him as a very small boy, sadly he was killed in a silly accident working as a delivery driver in 1953. A very strange ending.
We haven’t spoken for some while, I really must try harder.
Love and regards to both.
