Donald ‘Don’ Sheppard, a dispatch rider for the Royal Engineers, has died aged 104.
皇家工程师队派遣骑手唐纳德·“唐”·谢泼德 (Donald ‘Don’ Sheppard) 去世,享年 104 岁。
He landed on Juno beach on June 6 1944 in a landing ship tank, as part of the D-Day landings, which saw some 156,000 British, American and Canadian troops launch from the sea and air on to French soil in one of the most successful military operations in history, which this year celebrated its 80th anniversary.
1944 年 6 月 6 日,他乘坐坦克登陆舰在朱诺海滩登陆,这是诺曼底登陆的一部分,大约 156,000 名英国、美国和加拿大军队从海上和空中登陆法国领土,这是最成功的登陆行动之一历史上的军事行动,今年庆祝了 80 周年。
On Sunday, the British Normandy Memorial account posted on X: “We are saddened to hear of the death of 104-year-old D-Day veteran Donald Sheppard.
周日,英国诺曼底纪念馆的账号在 X 上发帖称:“我们对 104 岁诺曼底登陆老兵唐纳德·谢泼德去世的消息感到悲痛。
“Donald attended the virtual opening of the Memorial in 2021 & features in the Winston Churchill Centre @PoppyLegion exhibition.

“Thinking of Donald’s wife Sandra & family. Rest in Peace Don.”
“想到唐纳德的妻子桑德拉和家人。唐,安息吧。”
Speaking to the PA news agency in 2019, Mr Sheppard, from Basildon, Essex, described D-Day as a “waste of life” but recognised the landings as being “so important”.
来自埃塞克斯郡巴西尔登的谢泼德在 2019 年接受 PA 通讯社采访时称,诺曼底登陆是“浪费生命”,但也承认登陆“非常重要”。
He said: “I know we had to defend ourselves… but young guys like me 20, 21, who never lasted five minutes, some of them got killed before they got off the boat.
他说:“我知道我们必须保卫自己……但是像我这样20岁、21岁的年轻人,他们从来没有坚持过五分钟,其中一些人在下船之前就被杀了。
“Tragic, absolutely.”
“绝对是悲剧。”
When he arrived at Juno beach around 4.30pm, Mr Sheppard said the Germans had “really got the distance and shells were coming over like rain”, with battleships also firing over their heads.
当下午 4.30 左右抵达朱诺海滩时,谢泼德表示,德国人“确实已经拉开了距离,炮弹如雨点般袭来”,战舰也在他们头顶上开火。
“We lost quite a few guys,” he said. “We (the survivors) were lucky really.”
“我们失去了很多人,”他说。 “我们(幸存者)真的很幸运。”
After breaking through Nazi lines in the August, he continued through to Belgium, Holland and eventually Germany – including to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
八月突破纳粹防线后,他继续前往比利时、荷兰,最终到达德国,包括贝尔根-贝尔森集中营。
Speaking of his experience, Mr Sheppard said: “I shall never forget that for the rest of my life. How one human could do that to another.”
谈到他的经历,谢泼德先生说:“我一生都不会忘记那件事。一个人怎么能对另一个人做出这样的事。”
The only wound he received during the war was a cut to his leg as he took cover in a ditch as German bombs fell.
战争期间,他唯一受的伤是在德国炸弹落下时,他躲进沟里,腿部被割伤。
But after medical tests and scans some seven decades later, it was discovered he had a sliver of shrapnel sitting in his lung.
但大约七十年后,经过医学检查和扫描,发现他的肺部有一小片弹片。
Mr Sheppard said the piece of metal had never caused any health problems.
谢泼德先生表示,这块金属从未造成任何健康问题。
