Dean Small is the son of Ken Small, who in the 1980s discovered an American Sherman tank that since 1944 had been lying on the seabed, about three-quarters of a mile away from Slapton Sands.
To honour all who died during Exercise Tiger, Ken Small turned the tank into a memorial which is still visited today.
