Working in Tony Blair’s delivery unit was an honour 20 years ago, but today’s challenges demand new answers. Let’s liberate public servants, unleashing their creativity and compassion to serve citizens in ways which top down rule-makers can only dream of.

We had bread for the first time a month later. I slept in a bed again on Xmas Eve on 48 hrs leave. All the infantry who landed with us were killed or injured within a few months. I was really glad not to be in the infantry’
At last it began to grow dark. We filled up with petrol & ammunition and made a cup of tea. I was on guard &heard 3 German planes up alone & so much flak was sent up from our bridgehead that all were shot down. We were up at first light, about 4am. D-Day was over & D+1 had begun.
on our right to reinforce the original Airborne drop on the River Orme. Quite a number were shot down. Next came a report that 40 Tiger tanks were heading our way. I learnt later that these were stopped by an anti tank screen the British had posted.
We were crawling (in a flail tank A squadron Westminster Dragoons) past Hermanville when tanks behind us began to blow up. 3 flails were knocked out from anti tank fire from our right. A great mass of 4 engined bombers& gliders came in
#dday My Dad Jim, age 20- ‘The night of 5th June 1944 we set sail in the dark. When morning came we were not alone.There were ships as far as the eye could see from horizon to horizon. Shells were falling round us & a ship near us was hit. We landed on Queen Beach.
