Hi John, First you need to find out what unit he was in. By any chance, is he still with us? If not then you have to do this the hard way. You will need to get his records from the MOD which i believe is taking as long as 9 months to get. This will give you his unit which you can then contact the RE's museum and ask them if they could give you the details of where this unit was on 6th June 1944. Good luck and let us know how you get on and if we can help again. Sniper
