[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 5591, member: 22"]Yes I sent them to my Dad too. He was taken off motor torpedo boats before the landings and attached to a mine sweeper, they had to sweep the English Channel of German mines otherwise those ships and landing craft would not have made it across. Also my uncle had the job of helping to clear mines in an around Calais Harbour after D-Day, he would call into a cafe on the harbour side and be served coffee by a beautiful French girl, he later married her and she became my auntie Jeanette. :cool:[/QUOTE]
