Gordon Prime, from Pembrokeshire, was a dispatch rider for the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC), the unit responsible for keeping the British Army supplied with provisions.
Along with his RASC company, Gordon was involved in and a witness to, some of the most well-known battles in Northern Europe before Germany capitulated in May 1945.
These included Caen, Pegasus Bridge and Operation Goodwood, Arnhem, Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes, and Operation Veritable in the Reichswald Forest.
At the end of the War, Gordon returned to Germany and became a staff car driver in the British Army of Occupation.
