He sent the attached letter to my father who had been injured in Italy just before Monte Casino. In the letter he says that on the 6th of June 1944 on his 21st birthday he was shot in the leg disembarking onto the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. He says it was a birthday present he wants to thank the sender for as he was put back on the boat and returned to England. A third brother was captured in Italy and handed to the Germans into a prisoner of war camp. My grandmother received 3 telegrams in short time about the injuries and capture, but all 3 survived the war.
