FURTHER to your article in last week's GUARDIAN by Melanie Moore, (Saving Private Ryan), It would have been nice to mention that there are more than 20 ex-Royal Marines in the film as advisers and boat crews (no doubt dressed as GIs).
An ex-Royal myself, I was on the first assault, Gold Beach, as a motorman with two Ford V8 engines on a LCA, dropped in the North Sea at 4am on D-Day.
