One I only remember slightly, the other was killed on D-Day. I wrote this about him:<br /><br /><br /><br /> Remembrance.<br /><br />My uncle Harry was killed at Sword beach<br />in 1944. He was nineteen.<br />It seems he was shot before he could reach<br /><br />the minimal protection of the screen<br />of low dunes which was their first objective.<br />The tide was high and the sea came in green<br /><br />in the recollection of those who lived.<br />I'm told that Harry was tall and well-made,<br />clumsy, liked cricket and he talked a lot.<br /><br />Though as a stevedore he was often aboard<br />the freighters in the Pool loading cargo,<br />it was the first time he'd been abroad.<br />The first and the last, and he lies there now.MeltonMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367121501089286103.post-49214654816916933292010-12-10T19:19:02.789+00:002010-12-10T19:19:02.789+00:00I sincerely hope they did show some simian charact...I sincerely hope they did show some simian characteristics, MM.
