  一名在诺曼底登陆中发挥了重要作用的苏格兰老兵在诺曼底登陆80周年之际向那些献出生命的人致敬。

  阿尔伯特·拉蒙德,98岁,在伦弗鲁郡毕晓普顿老兵村的厄斯金退伍军人慈善机构照顾。

  11月11日是诺曼底登陆纪念日,厄斯金家庭网络中的退伍军人、居民和护理人员将聚集在一起,纪念那些在战争中献出生命的人。

  拉蒙德将把重点放在1944年6月6日的事件上,他在海上目睹了诺曼底海滩上的战斗,这标志着西欧从纳粹手中解放出来的开始。

  1943年,拉蒙德加入皇家海军,年仅18岁。

  他在英国皇家海军罗利号(HMS Rowley)上担任信号员,并被要求与驶向诺曼底的英国皇家海军战争号(HMS Warspite)会合。

  罗利号的任务是在“战争”号炮轰德军时包围它。

  拉蒙德和他的船员密切关注可能向军舰发射鱼雷的u型潜艇。

  他在战斗中站在桥上看守,没有掩体来保护自己不受火力攻击。他说,从那以后,他目睹的恐怖一直伴随着他。

  他说:“诺曼底登陆日是不一样的。它仍然很难谈论。这不是很好,你可以这么说。

  “我们可以看到所有的人都想上岸,不知道等着他们的是什么。

  “我们所能做的就是观察,希望尽可能多地保护他们。

  “我们明白我们正在做的事情的重要性,以及我们为什么必须这样做。但这并没有使情况好转。”

  他补充说:“它永远伴随着你,但它不会变得更容易。”几年前我回到了诺曼底,那很艰难,但也是一种真正的荣誉。

  “实际上,我们已经所剩无几了。当我看着外面的海滩时,我对自己说,我们还有多少人在这里?所有这些人都参战了吗?诺曼底登陆后我的船员有什么事吗?

  我想知道他们的生活走向了什么方向。这些事情一直在我的脑海里,不仅仅是在阵亡将士纪念日,而是每一天。”

  拉蒙德在服役期间获得了许多奖章,包括北极星勋章。

  第二次世界大战后,拉蒙德离开了海军,继续在铁路上工作,最终在大约40年后作为一名铁路司机退休。

  他说:“厄斯金为这么多退伍军人所做的工作令人惊叹。如果没有厄斯金,许多退伍军人在退役后或晚年生活中都会举步维艰。对于他们为我所做的一切,我怎么赞扬都不为过。

  “他们为我提供了无与伦比的照顾,让我有机会结交朋友,认识有相似经历的人。”

  “他们真心支持我们的退伍军人,无论他们的年龄和背景如何,我鼓励任何人在力所能及的情况下支持他们。”

  厄斯金航空公司首席执行官伊恩·卡明说:“尊敬和支持像阿尔伯特·拉蒙德这样的英雄是我们的荣幸和责任,他们为了我们的自由无私地冒着生命危险。”

  随着诺曼底登陆80周年的临近,我们想起了整整一代人所做出的牺牲。

  “我们致力于确保他们的需求得到满足,他们的故事永远不会被遗忘,同时也扩大我们的服务范围,以支持最近冲突中的年轻退伍军人。”
