Nine O Nine

To mark the 75th anniversary of D Day and the start of the Battle of Normandy I wanted to share with you this V mail written on the 5th of June somewhere in the English channel. You may of seen it before as it once once in the collection of another forum member who kindly sold it to me a few years ago but even so I think its worth sharing again.

 

Harold Morgan was a member of HQ company of the 175th infantry regiment of the 29th Division and part of the divisional reserve most likely landing late on the 6th or more likely on the 7th of June. He would eventually be captured near St Lo during the ferocious fighting in that area. His sentiments likely echo the thoughts of many other men that Day.
