My great grandfather used to tell me about the landing when I was an early teen. It always brought him to tears. I still remember him saying that he'd seen things a teenager should have never have to see. His most horrific recollection was of his friend Charlie. Charlie was hit by a shell. Grandfather said all they could do was pick up the pieces they could find and put them in a bag. "I never thought a man would fit in a small backpack" he said.
Grandfather was one tough s.o.b and rarely spoke of the war, but when he did I was all ears.
