Kenneth Hay, a D-Day veteran who survived capture during the Second World War, has died aged 101.
Hay was remembered by the British Normandy Memorial, which described him as an “extraordinary gentleman” and said his remarkable life would never be forgotten.
His experience linked him to the generation of servicemen who took part in the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day. The source material does not provide further details about Hay’s military service, his capture or the circumstances and date of his death.
The tribute reflects the continuing recognition given to D-Day veterans and their wartime experiences. Hay’s death marks the loss of another member of a generation whose personal accounts are connected to one of the defining military operations of the Second World War.
