| Description: | Select Guide Rating The moving story of the unlikely friendship that developed between then 25 year old archaeologist John Henry Phillips and D-Day survivor Patrick Thomas, and their search for the wreck of Patrick's landing-craft command vessel off the coast of France: the final resting place of at least 35 of his shipmates. When archaeologist John Henry Phillips volunteered with a charity that took D-Day veterans back to Normandy, due to an administrative error he found himself without a hotel room and reliant on the generosity of one of the veterans who had a spare bed. That veteran was Patrick Thomas - and it was an encounter that would change both their lives forever. |
