Henry 'Harry' Rawlins, who served with The King's Royal Rifle Corps, has died at the age of 98, just days after the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Navy Captain Gerrit Nijenhuis, Defence and Naval Attaché of the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, said: 'Harry is a very modest, gentle and humble man and it is hard to imagine what he and his mates went through and I can only imagine the hardship and suffering those on the ground endured during the war.'
'A voracious reader, Harry was self-taught, having absorbed the information from many hundreds of books he'd read over the years.' Military-minded Harry also enjoyed visits to Worthing in the summer and attending the Christmas party in December.
