L/Cpl. Thomas Gerrard Palmer
British Army 8th Btn., B Coy. Middlesex Regiment

My dad, Thomas Palmer, landed with the machine gun battalion as a bren carrier driver on about D-day plus 9 or 11. He was with them until the end of the war. He wrote an account of his experiences in a school book in the early 1960s. I read this book. When he died the book was missing and to my shame I think he felt we were not sufficiently interested and he burnt it. Fred Armstrong was his buddy. I do remember bits of his memories.
