236244 Trpr. John Alexander "Blondie" Gardner British Army 2nd Btn. Derbyshire Yeomanry from:Gateshead My father, John Gardner, like most, did not talk about the war. I know these facts: He joined 2nd Btn. Derbyshire Yeomanry, and was then put into Recconaissance Corp in front of 51st Highland Division, he said mainly the Black Watch. He landed D Day, and went on to Pegasus bridge, Calne, Falaise Gap, Nijmegen and finished in Bremen(?). I have been unable to find anyone who can give any details. I know from a vet he was known as Blondie, aged 18 at D day. He was a motorcyclist and the vet was surprised to hear he made it through the war, as most bikers were killed. After the war he joined 14/20th Kings Hussars and remained for many years.
