Gibson was a true veteran long before the Dams Raid. A warrior of great courage, intelligence and leadership. How many such men can a nation afford to lose?

He wasn’t far off the Mohne Dam. I wondered if anyone would remember them. I certainly do especially those that didn’t return 🙁

The first wave got there at 00.20.
