Just listened to a story on the local BBC (Look East) tv news. A ww2 veteran had been to hospital for investigation on his lungs. The consultant told the gentleman concerned that there was nothing cancerous, but, they had found a sliver of Shrapnel in his lung. Asked when he got it, he replied " I must've got it during the battle for Pegasus Bridge, thats when I was wounded".
His Name, Don Shepherd of the Royal Engineers. The consultant has decided to leave it where it is as it is not causing any problems.
