Since I moved to my present home, I have had the pleasure & privilege of getting to know Alex Reith, an active member of the local SAAFA branch.

A top bloke, he still drives himself around in his Lexus.

Yes on D-Day, they were under instructions to get back to the beach and get a lift home, in case they had to do it all again.
