Framed Black and White Portrait photograph of D-Day Veteran Victor McKenzie. Overall size including frame 76cm x 56cm. Victor McKenzie’s story. "I was a lorry driver in the Army Service Corps. As we were driving over a pontoon bridge a shell exploded in the water in front of us. The blast from the shell hit our lorry and stopped it dead, like we’d hit some invisible wall. A piece of shrapnel from the shell came straight through the widescreen, clipped my ear and embedded itself into a gun rack in the lorry behind. Another inch or so the other side and I would have been dead! I made sure that I dug the piece of shrapnel out and still have it as a souvenir today".
