250196 Gdsm. Norman Lund British Army 2nd Btn. Grenadier Guards from:Bolton, Lancashire Dad, Norman Lund served with the Guards Armoured Division. He landed in France a few days after D Day. His Sherman tank was blown up whilst approaching Albert. The tank commander was Luit Stirton (later to become an MP). Stirton lost an eye in that action. Dad and several of his crew walked back to the village of Bonnay where three tanks had been knocked out by an 88 mm gun the day before, killing Gdsm Ted Sault and Joe Bryant. Dad and the other guardsmen stayed in Bonnay for a about a week. Many years later, Dad was invited to a mayoral reception in Bonnay by the mayor of that village. It was an amazing day with elderly French villagers showing us pictures of my Dad with his comrades as well as pictures of the destroyed Sherman tanks. It was a great day.
