June 6th, 1944 Philip Burkinshaw, a Captain of the 12th Yorkshire Battalion. A paratrooper. This story is based on his jump. From landing to dealing with a wound, Philip makes it through the longest day. Disclaimer: Not historically accurate, I'm still learning. This was a project I did for school. The ending or any of this story past the jump is not what happened, just my own twist. (A short story)
