Another WWII last one RIP

[Helm]

The last surviving Para of the Merville Battery raid died earlier this month.
Sgt Fred Millward of 9 Para. Apparently the current mayor of Merville was attending his funeral.
RIP.

Looks like a very mischievous type of fella, sad to see them all passing away now.

Can't be many at all now, I have to say for WWII he made a decent fist of the beret too.

Every veteran's passing for me is like sealing shut a room full of stories we should all be sharing.

Stand easy mate, sleep well.....Job done.

We will remember them
