good day recce_mich.very senior member,yesterday,re:56 recce on 6th june 1944,they fought a long war.to those who did not return.may they rest in peace.regards bernard85
Paul Your initial posting can be most misleading as the term "in action" always meant to be in the front line and fighting etc No one fought that continuously as your own Sheet #1 states that with two days on operations the other four days were taken with Maintenance and Training - we thought that we were hard done by on the Gothic Line as being "in action" for eighteen days before a two day rest - even that was cut short…but as D Day Dodgers we expected that Cheers
Yes paul the 56th fought a long hard war and me, you ,lesley and tony are obviously very proud our fathers were 56th recce men and d day dodgers . Cheers dave
