@DrHelenFry Our grandad, Cpl Horace Defew, Sword Beach. His role was in the Beach Ordnance group. Years later my brother is quietly confident that he saw grandad in the corner of a photo of Sword Beach which hangs on the wall at the MOD in Whitehall where used to work on one posting.
The village has a new bench up at the duck pond on West Street, kindly donated in memory of and installed by the family of Gladys and Ted Lane, who had lived in the village for many years. #northcreake
