“I've had another 82 years. I came home, fell in love, got married, had children and watched my family grow - thousands of young men never had the opportunity to experience any of those things, and that is tragic.”— Charlie Horne, a D-Day veteran, reflected in an interview ahead of Remembrance Sunday on the young men who never returned from the war.
