WWII veteran, 94, visits England after 70 years, dies there

“Rector toured Battle of Britain Bunker, an underground command center where fighter airplane operations were directed during D-Day. After climbing back into the sunlight, he told Jowers he felt dizzy. She grabbed one of his arms, and a stranger grabbed the other.

“There, just outside the bunker where Winston Churchill famously said, 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few,' Rector died quietly.”
