There is an editorial error , the person is named as Terry Burton who is connected to the Normandy Veterans Association/Group.
From Hansard , a 2004 debate about the 60th Anniversary of D-Day/Normandy:
Quote:
It is estimated that about 10,000 British veterans survive. Some 8,000 are members of the Normandy Veterans Association.
I am proud that one branch is in my constituency of Chipping Barnet, and its chairman, Councillor Terry Burton, tells me that it has 40 members.

Also an American newspaper from last year :
Veteran of three services
Quote:
a Valdosta man who made the poppy wreaths, and had served in the Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force and the U.S. Air Force, held elective office, became deputy mayor of London and also served as President Ronald Reagan's military attache, Terry Burton.
Postwar, he joined the RAF and eventually became a pilot flying C-130 Hercules transport planes.
He saw combat action in the Vietnam War.
He now heads up a Normandy Veterans Group online
