D-Day veteran interviewed by two children
More from Ted Owens – a commando and sniper – who landed on Sword Beach on June 6, 1944.
He was interviewed during a trip to the battlefields by two children.

His name is Ted Owens. He was a commando and a sniper. He almost died on D-Day and was wounded twice more in the Netherlands.
I’ll be posting some of their clips over the next fortnight.
