A humble veteran who insists he was just doing his duty on D-Day has lost his book of wartime photos and documents at the 75th anniversary in France.
Derek Ordish, 94, served in RAF Air-Sea Rescue and on June 6, 1944 his job was to pull stricken comrades from the water during the Allied invasion of Normandy.
Three-quarters of a century later he attended events to mark the anniversary but left his blue folder in a marquee in Bayeux last Thursday, June 6.
It contains photos of himself and wartime friends, plus documents including his call-up papers and medals records.
