An Army reservist has retraced his family’s footsteps to an island battlefield in the Netherlands where his grandfather fought through floodwater to liberate Europe from the Nazis.
Colour Sergeant James Gould, 51, who serves with 6th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland (6 SCOTS), commemorated the 81st anniversary of Operation Infatuate, the Allied landings which liberated the island of Walcheren in November 1944, with fellow reservists on a battlefield study, Exercise Lowland Poppy.
