Tpr. Douglas Alfred John "Duff" Cooper

British Army East Riding of Yorkshire Yeomanry

from:Cheltenham

Trooper D.A.J.

Douglas Cooper is my dad. He landed on Sword Beach on D-Day in a Sherman tank. His tank was hit on D-Day plus 2 whilst resting up. There were two of them were in the tank; the rest were outside. William Harper was decapitated and dad got out just as the tank caught fire. He survived and later went on to drive a Buffalo over the Rhine and ended up in Berlin. William Harper is apparently buried in Bayeux.
