My main aim at the moment is to try and find out where my uncle [not grandfather] was fatally wounded - at Merville Battery or the day after at Hauger [village].<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />GarethGareth Hurley Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463558987479607171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214545874110139815.post-14812629863624720652010-12-12T23:13:19.833+00:002010-12-12T23:13:19.833+00:00My name is Stephen Smith. My grandfather, Thomas ...My name is Stephen Smith. My grandfather, Thomas William Smith, was in the 9th Battalion A Company. He fell on D-Day and like many paratroopers would never make it home to family after the war. I would like to express my gratitude to you and your family for the tribute to your grandfather. I have several unit photographs which your grandfather may be in. Please drop me a line. temporaltechnician@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214545874110139815.post-29339233771581059912010-12-08T11:56:29.490+00:002010-12-08T11:56:29.490+00:00Hi Gareth,
