    This is the story of D-Day and the invasion of Europe as seen by both the attacking and defending forces. It includes comments and descriptions from a wide range of Allied and German forces.

    I noticed that there are a couple of mentions on here (albeit from years ago)...

    I wonder, if by chance, anyone here happens to have a copy they could look at p188 of as it contains this snippet...

    Two Sides of the Beach

    Mentioning the "24th Lancers" and a Sergeant Henry Kelly.

    As far as I am currently aware, I don't think that there was a Sergeant Henry Kelly in the British 24th Lancers, although he perhaps possibly joined them in Normandy and left them prior to their disbandment, or maybe he was attached to the 24th Lancers, but not in their lists etc. Either way, perhaps there is more explanation possibly on p188 of the book?

    All the best,

    Rm.
