At the D-Day Normandy landings he was a commander of tank landing craft LCT708, and lead the landings on Gold Beach.After the war, Offer returned to rowing at Kingston RC, where he competed until the 1950s. He then began coaching at Kingston and at Tiffin School, where he inspired successes in regattas including Henley and coached future international rowers.
