My father John Watson, always known as Jack, was a Tank Gunner in the 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. He landed at Juno Beach D-Day plus 3 days in advance of the bulk of the 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards.
I have a number of photos taken during the time spent advancing through France, Belgium and on into Germany and Hamburg.
