Timeline
He worked for J Lyons and Co to 1982. He was president of the Airborne Assault Normandy Trust. Watson was appointed a Chevalier of the Legion d'honneur in 2005. He was made an honorary citizen of Bure and Tellin in the Ardennes and of Ranville, Normandy.
Following the Second World War he served in Palestine and was adjutant of the 1st Battalion The West Yorkshire Regiment in Austria and the Canal Zone. He served with the 2nd Parachute Battalion before retiring from the Army in 1958.
He served in the Ardennes as a company commander, and his company on 3 January 1945 led the assault into the village of Bure, Belgium. Watson's company from the launch of the attack came under heavy repeated attacks by enemy mortars, machine-guns and artillery, and there were immediate casualties. He led the company forward and when under attack organised the defences and drove the enemy from the part of the village his company had been tasked to clear. An extract from the citation for his Military Cross reads: " His conduct, energy and gallantry throughout were beyond praise, and without him the attack might well have failed. "
