D-Day: Army cadets aim to continue remembrance

Josh Mussen, 17, from First Battalion, Whitehouse detachment in Newtownabbey, is also travelling with the cadets to pay tribute to those who came before him.

He said his great, great-grandfather Richard Mussen from the Royal Ulster Rifles was killed in France at the end of World War One.

“I do have a big family connection,” Josh said.

“I can only just imagine what they went through, what conditions they had to live through, the fighting, what effect it had on them.

“So I am proud of having family that did their part.”
