In November, we were delighted to receive a visit from Tommy Robson. Tommy was a Corporal in the Welsh Guards and landed on the beaches in Normandy, taking part in the D-Day landings and survived the War with barely a scratch.
Tommy sat with the children for an hour, answering all questions patiently, with dignity and complete honesty. The children were transfixed.
In these two clips, you can see Tommy replying carefully to the inevitable questions from children; ‘Did you ever kill anyone..?’
Our thanks go to Tommy for a genuinely moving account of his time in the Army.
His stories are breathtaking. An utter gentleman. It was a privilege to meet him.
