Remembering Uncle Bill



Thinking today of all those soldiers, sailors and airmen involved in the D-Day landings in Normandy, and of all who lost their lives in that great battle – British, American, Canadian, French and German.

Thinking especially today of my cousin, Captain L Graham Browne MC, “Uncle Bill”, after whom I was named, who landed that day with the Dorsets on Gold Beach. Soldier, advertising man, rally driver, champion cyclist.
 
He represented for me throughout my childhood a beacon of what might be achieved in life.
