On D-Day he arrived at Ranville , France by glider and was wounded by sniper fire two days later. He recovered (unlike the sniper, who was killed by a Royal Ulster Rifleman ) and subsequently participated in the Ardennes offensive (the Battle Of The Bulge ) and Rhine crossings (Operation VARSITY ). He was part of the force that liberated Belsen and shook hands with the Russians on the banks of the River Elbe . He was then invited to form the No2 Medical Commando with a view to fighting the Japanese, but this was cancelled by the subsequent bombing and surrender of Japan. |
