Пропавший ветеран Дня Д совершил побег в Нормандию

Пенсионер, который исчез из дома престарелых в Восточном Сассексе, был найден живым и здоровым – в честь высадки в Нормандии в День Д.

Police said staff at the Hove nursing home called them yesterday evening when the WWII veteran did not return after going for a walk.

It was not until a younger veteran called to say he met the pensioner on a coach to France and that he was safe at a hotel in Ouistreham.

It turned out the 89-year-old man had left the facility wearing a grey mack concealing a jacket underneath with his war medals attached.

Sussex Police said they have spoken to him and “are satisfied that the pensioner is fine”, adding: “Once the pensioner is home we will go and have a chat with him to check he is ok.”Читать дальше
