We’re celebrating! Why the Armed Covenant and ELCAS are so important to RISK You can take the man out of the military but you can’t take the military out of the man. Harry Billinge exemplifies what the military stands for Throughout this year Mike and his wife, Val, have attended several military reunions to celebrate the 50th year of the reformation of the regiment Commando Branch. At one event they heard 97 year old, former Royal Engineer, Horace “Harry” Billinge speak. He was just 18 when he stormed the beach in German-occupied Normandy, during the landings on June 6 1944. He has received wide media coverage for his unwavering fund raising to build the British Normandy Memorial, unveiled this year on the 77th anniversary of the Normandy landings. In recognition of his tireless efforts he has received an MBE and also a train named after him, but he always defers the praise and recognition. “I didn’t accept the MBE for myself, but for the memorial and the fellas that never came back.” Horace “Harry” Billinge D-Day Veteran We’re celebrating!
