Robert Gale

A signaler in landing craft LCA 10 10, operating on Gold Beach, Gale won an immediate DSM for his ,complete disregard for danger; standing up in the bow of his craft as they came inshore to spot, and sometimes fend off, mined obstructions. His courage inspired all those whose who came into contact with him, not least the troops going ashore. He was already a veteran of the North African and Sicily landings. After the war he returned to his familys bakery business which he eventually took over and ran until his retirement.
