Frank Ashleigh - despite being in a resrved occupation - joined the Army 2 days after his 18th Birthday, trained as a glider Pilot and took part - at 19 in Operation Market Garden  Spent 3 days holed up in a church shooting at random times at Germans - who couldnt work out where the firing was coming from
Eventually captured and survived the infamous Lamsdorf death march

Died at 98 - there cant be many left now who survived the Bridge too far

Sad news, there can't be many WW2 veterans left alive  now. A true British hero.
