Returning to England, to fight on the home front, Ray left the infantry to join the 3rd Para, in one of the first airborne divisions:
"Churchill wanted men to start airborne forces, so I volunteered for SAS, Paras, Airgunners - I thought that was the best way you were going to get into action. By that time, my best friend was a PoW already, and in my heart I thought it would be nice to get over to Germany and help him to escape."
?Ray's new prada sunglasses 2012 first jump was six weeks later, into Sicily. He describes that time as being "pretty horrible", not least because they almost got dropped into Mount Etna! They returned to England in 1943, and resumed training in Lincolnshire for the next operation. Though they didn't know it at the time, this would be Arnhem, where Ray lost his sight.
?"We were dropped at Arnhem on 17th September, 1944. We got about five miles before we came under heavy fire and had to take cover. I was in charge of a Bren group when an 88 mm landed. It felt as though a handful of gravel had been thrown in my face. I rubbed my eyes, knowing I was badly injured, though I kept rubbing, thinking - you'll be able to see in a minute - but nothing happened."
