Hey Craig Starling ; i just wanted to let you that i'm So Sorry for the lose of your Grandmother's brother in WW2 and GOD Bless him for serving plus it's a shame that he was killed the day before this film was taken... How Cool it would have been if a close up shot of him might have occurred in this video of him walking by and/or riding on one of those Sherman tanks... Oh well ! 😔
