The 377th AAA Bn were stationed in my home town Sturminster Newton in the county of Dorset inland of the south coast of England prior to D Day - they were fondly regarded by the people & were very kind to the children of which my mother was one - I shall visit Ernest's grave & pay my respects next Honored by Neil Howbrook [2014-04-14 12:34:13] |
