Gordon was on a landing craft heading for one of the five Normandy beaches, code-named Juno, on D-Day morning. He had imagined revving his motorbike down a ramp onto the sand, but his Sergeant Major in the Royal Army Service Corps had a different idea. Gordon was told to drive a three-tonne truck loaded with three quarters of a tonne of high explosive shells and 200 gallons of petrol. His motorcycle would have to fit in the back.Further to the east, Percival Chafer had reached Sword beach, another of the landing sites on the Normandy coast. At 104, he is the oldest surviving D-Day veteran interviewed by the BBC for We Were There.

George Horner, a teenager in the Royal Ulster Rifles, could see the war right in front of him."The Irish were allocated Sword Beach," he says. "A few of the landing craft were sunk. Heavy fire coming, you know. We had to wade about 100 yards, 150 yards, onto the beach. I remember saying to myself, 'Horner, you got on here with two legs and two arms, and that’s the way you’ll have to come out.'"

Many other young men were much less fortunate. Operation Overlord was undoubtedly a success, yet 5,000 of the Allied forces were wounded in the hours of D-Day, and 4,400 men were killed.
