A quote from an officer about F.J. Bore:
"Frank Bore was a friend of mine. After service Overseas, many ex-NCOs went through Officer Cadet Training in Canada together, including training at Currie Barracks, and Frank also came with me to the SSR. He spoke to me (15Sep44) two nights before he was killed. He died at Bray Dunes Plage during an attack to try to reach the so-called "Sanitorium" there. He had a narrow escape from a German mortar bomb while talking to me! Landed almost between his feet, but in the soft sand, he was somehow spared. I may have a photo somewhere, but can't be sure. On returning Overseas we were stationed in Sherwood Forest just after D Day, before going to France. I found his final letter rather ironic."
-C. Law, Capt., SSR. 29Dec2002
