'I'm fed up with this war. I'd rather be home with my wife and children.' Cyril Tasker talks about the time he came face to face with a lone German soldier during WW2. They had a 5 minute chat and let each other go on their way

"Strangely enough as we went over in the Horsa glider I was frightened, but I didn't think about death, as I somehow knew I would make it through." Cyril Tasker. We are so grateful to be involved with this trip. The veterans have been amazing! Their stories are incredible.

Some great images from our recent trip to Normandy. A big thanks to Martin for sending them in.

Just returning from a great trip to Normandy. It is always an emotional experience that reminds us of the sacrifice made for our freedom. So many young men didn't make it home and we must share their story. Thank you to the Royal Signals Association of Liverpool for allowing us to share this experience with them
