PILGRIMAGE TO NORMANDY
This year we will be following Dad’s WWII route from when he landed in Glasgow [on 2 February 1944], to his crossing the English Channel to Normandy, on 25 June 1944, and then his journey through France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and back into France. In October 1945 he sailed from England back to New York City on the Queen Elizabeth.
