Donald 'Don' Sheppard, a 104-year-old D-Day veteran and Royal Engineer dispatch rider, has passed away. He famously landed on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944, as part of the Allied forces during one of history's most significant military operations, marking its 80th anniversary this year. Post-D-Day, he was involved in the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945, where he witnessed the harrowing aftermath of the Holocaust. Reflecting on D-Day, Mr. Sheppard described it as a 'waste of life', yet acknowledged its necessity for self-defense. He often recounted the chaos of the landing, with artillery fire raining down as young soldiers fell before him. His experiences left a lasting impact, as he stated, 'How one human could do that to another' when recalling the atrocities he witnessed.
