:03:45.:03:52.

It's rare for a World War II veteran to have a

:03:53.:03:54.

But Wally Harris was a rare kind of man.

:03:55.:03:58.

His job with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers should

never have placed him on the front line.

:04:01.:04:02.

But when he came across a Gdrman unit preparing to wreak havoc

:04:03.:04:05.

on the Allied advance shortly after D`Day he went on to save cotntless

:05:53.:05:54.

18`year`old Luke Shaw compldted a move to Manchester United

:05:55.:05:58.

It's a world record transfer fee for a teenager.
