Thanks Richard
I remember asking Dad if he took part in the actual D-Day landings (hoping he would have some-hair-raising story) but he said he came in a few weeks later. There are no captions on any of the photos and I can only guess at certain locations. I went with the channel crossing based on the fact that the vehicles are tied down although this may have been taken on a pre-invasion exercise. Based on history, he would have still been in the R.C.O.C. at this point so I'm not sure if he would have actually crossed with a specific unit or where-ever they had the space. I do know he was eventually "adopted" by a Dutch family when he was in Holland but I don't know the family name.
Cheers, Dave
