Private Alfred Wyles - 2025 - D-Day

D-Day Landings: My Grandfather Landed in the First-Wave on Normandy Today – 81-Years Ago! (6.6.2025)

His best friend was shot in the head and his body kept on running for a few feet before finally collapsing. The German soldier was aiming at my grandfather – before his friend ran in front of him – as part of the advance. My grandfather fought against fascism – but today the UK is over-run with home-grown fascists, Neo-Nazis, and White Supremacists – as the government tells us to support Neo-Nazi Ukraine and Zionist Israel. Out of respect for the memory of my brave grandfather – I refuse to do neither. This is how I choose to use the freedom my grandfather earned for me on D-Day!

Alfred Wyles Medals WWII

UK: D-Day 81st Anniversary {6.6.1944-6.6.2025] – Remembering Private Alfred Wyles! (5.6.2025)

The infantry would assault the area from the periphery – and the Glider Troops would protect the centre (as if they had just dropped from the sky). As combat can be fluid and all kinds of emergencies can occur – Glider Troops would also train to assault the area from the periphery – and Infantry would defend the area from the centre. The reality on the ground might involve any contingency being used with flexibility being the key. I am told that this might explain how my grandfather came to possess an Airborne badge. When we were first researching this subject, die to the presence of this badge, we first thought Alfred Wyles had landed at Caen in a wooden Glider (this was in fact “D Company” of the 2nd Battalion [Professional] Ox & Bucks – but were later informed that in all likelihood (there is till a niggling doubt) my grandfather landed on Sword Beach as part of the supporting-infantry. Whatever the case, his official War Record is vague on this point.

Winged Pegasus - 1944

80th D-Day Commemoration – Remembering the British & Soviet Sacrifice! (6.6.2024)

Specifically, the troops of the 1st Buckinghamshire (Light Bobs) Battalion of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry (Territorials) – my grandfather’s Unit (he was part of an Anti-Tank Platoon) – intended to relieve D Company (Glider Troops) of the 2nd Battalion of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry (Professional). My grandfather at one-point was barracked in Bovey Tracy in Devon – whilst his Unit trained around the Exeter Canal System – due to this place possessing a similar structure to that of the Canal System of Caen. This could have been to familiarise the “Light Bobs” with the Caen area they were supposed to advance toward from Sword Beach. This could have been my grandfather’s route into France – but I possess his shoulder badge – which is a Winged Pegasus (worn by Glider Troops). Whatever the case, his Unit was wiped-out and he fought on in the hedge-rows of France – fighting Vichy French and Nazi Germans.

Red Flag Over Berlin!

Victory in Europe Day! May 8th-May 9th – UK, US & Soviet Armies Meet in Berlin! (8.5.2024)

Salute to Sophie Scholl and her Comrades – who were brutally guillotined by Hitler! Salute to the 800,000 men and women murdered by Adolf Hitler’s regime within Germany (1933-1945)! Salute to the Viet Minh – which fought and died throughout Indochina – fighting the Imperial Japanese – only to be betrayed by Winston Churchill in 1945! By the time this portrayal played itself out in 1975 – 6 million Vietnamese men, women and children would lie deeds or wounded following their successful battles with the Imperialist French and US! Salute to the Korean people who fought Imperial Japan – and US aggression in Korea (1950-1953)! Salute to Chinese People’s Volunteer Army that displayed its true “Internationalist” Spirit in Korea! The Juggernaut of Nazi German, Imperial Japanese, and US fascism was stopped in Asia!

Veteran Star Medal: Alfred Gregory Wyles – WWII British Army Service [1940-1946]! (4.11.2023)

Although he joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment – famous for its ‘Last Stand’ at Dunkirk – due to his ‘sharp-shooting’ ability he was soon transferred to the 1st Buckinghamshire Battalion (the ‘Light Bobs’) of the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (Territorial Army) where he was placed in an Anti-Tank Platoon. During D-Day, the ‘Light Bobs’ landed in the first-waves of Allied troops that hit ‘Sword Beach’. His Unit was tasked with fighting their way in-land ten-miles to Caen – where it was to relieve D Company of the Ox & Bucks Ligyt Infantry (Professional) – which had landed as ‘Glider Troops’ around midnight of June 6th, 1944. Due to these required military objectives – my grandfather trained with the Glider Troops around the Exeter Canal System – which resembled the canal system around Caen. Indeed, this association has sometimes ‘confused’ exactly what function my grandfather fulfilled due to him possessing a ‘Winged Pegasus’ badge!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Dam-Busters Choose ‘June 6th’ to Flood Lost Kherson Area! (17.6.2023)

This seems to be a half-arsed attempt by the Americans to emulate the British WWII Special Forces Raid (‘Operation Chastise’) which involved the so-called ‘Bouncing Bomb’ (skilfully used by the British Royal Airforce – or ‘RAF’) – to destroy two Nazi German dams (on May 16/17, 1943) situated in the Ruhr Valley! As usual, US anti-intellectualism has got history back-to-front and all wrong! During WWII in was the ‘anti-fascists’ (the ‘British’) which destroyed the dam(s) involved – whilst in the contemporary ‘American’ performance – it was the ‘fascists’ (the ‘Ukrainians’) which carried-out not a well-conceived ‘Special Forces’ Raid – but rather a plain old ‘terrorist’ attack designed to check the advance of the successful Russian Forces! Of course, in this back-to-front world – the anti-intellectual forces of the West immediately came to the aid of the dithering US and declared its actions to be a) ‘Russian’, and b) a ‘War Crime’! Perhaps the average Russian will finally realise that the betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – and the Revolution in 1991 – simply were not worth the effort! Very much business as usual!
