Veteran living in West Cork awarded French honour
Francis Denvir, originally from Glasgow’s East End but living in West Cork, fought back tears during the double celebrations as he was bestowed with the medal of the Legion d’Honneur for his role in D-Day.
The centenarian was a sergeant in an Irish Guards armoured division which fought in the Market Garden campaign at the end of the Second World War following the second wave of D-Day landings.
