    I have just posted some material on my web site - the excellent Normandy daily diary of Sergeant Douglas E Gray MM, sent in by his son, Douglas. What amazing reading they make, together with pics of not just Normandy, but Sicily and N Africa aswell. Douglas was in the 7th Green Howards and landed on Gold Beach, with what I think would have been the second wave and a very a hairy time.
    There are also some very good poems that he wrote just waiting for someone to publish! The diary is at http://bit.ly/grayww2
    He also writes about his MM exploit without realising he would get an MM for it. Included is the subsequent citation and copies of Synge's {book} record of events.
    Enjoy
    Thanks Paul
