    My friends father was killed in action, by a German sniper on the 11th June 1944. He has very little information on his actions from D-Day until the 11th June. If anyone has information or can point us in the right direction that would be great.

    Hi Matt, I dont know how much info your friend has but he can order a picture of his Fathers Heastone here, The War Graves Photographic Project and there is a book on 3rd Parachute Sqn by Major Shave R.E, and although I can find the name Perry mentioned it may be of intrest, all the best Jason.
