Crane Driver | Obit: actor Richard Todd (Dec 2009) (29) | RE: Obit: Richard Todd | 04 Dec 09 |
Yes, Richard was in the Parachute forces during the war - he actually took part in the D-Day assaults that he later recreated in 'The Longest Day'. Not the Pegasus Bridge attack, but the associated parachute landings to the east of the beaches. So he knew what it was really like to be there. |
