Their initial task was to clear obstacles to create gaps for the landing craft. The water was much deeper than predicted. He jumped into the water to clear mines and was awarded a Distinguished Service Order (just one of 8 earned by an RE on the day). They then went on to clear mines and obstacles, and demolish and build bridges. Ringing World page reference: 5904.0567 | |
