My paternal Grandfather was invalided out of the army after Dunkirk… he was building submarines in June 1944. His twin brother however took part in the fighting in Normandy (having not long returned from escaping a POW camp in Italy after capture in North Africa).

My maternal Grandfather was just going into basic training in June 1944 and didn’t reach the front till much later in the year.
