[QUOTE="skipodonovan, post: 42299, member: 870"] Dear Ann, Your father parachuted in to the Bulbasket team on the night of 16/17th June 1944 with three others and four jeeps. They were transported by 5 Halifax aircraft - one per jeep and one for the four personnel. On leaving the drop zone the party were attacked by German troops of the SS Das Reich Division and in the speedy withdrawal one of the jeeps overturned crushing Trooper O'Neil's hand. Your father later amputated the two middle fingers of his hand with a pair of scissors. I have further information but could you contact me on skipodonovan@googlemail.com from where I will be able to explain more and send a photo taken recently of his grave. Very pleased that you have replied, Skip [/QUOTE]
