Military connection Served R.Sigs 42/47 Normany Comments: Gerry,I have read your facinating War Record many times,thank goodness you took the bother.I had never heard of the North Irish Horse until August 1996 whilst having a knee replacement in a Cardiff Hospital,a man was admitted to our Ward and he was very quiet,and when the nurses put him to bed they put his artifical leg on the armchair.The next day the man's son came to visit his dad,and I asked him how his father had lost his leg.He said dad was a tank driver in the North Irish Horse,they had sucessfully fought their way over the River Po,and the tank commander,a Major,said well done lads lets have a brew,Dad got out through the drivers hatch and stepped on a mine.I seem to have read in your diary about this, I came home after VE Day togo for the assault on Japan,but the Atomoc Bomb was too quick(thank God) I went back to Germany and then ended up with 46 Div in Steyrmach,Austria between Graz and Bruk until I was demobbed,like you a Sgt.I to did a three month stretch in Vienna,
