Framed Portrait Photograph of D-Day Veteran George Dangerfield. Overall size including frame 76cm x 56cm. This is his story: "I was told that I was too tall for the marines, so I stayed in the navy as a medic. I was assigned to LST 65 which was a 1 Class Tank Landing Ship. D Day was very noisy and very messy. We landed on Juno Beach at 07.30 and as soon as the big ramp went down, which was lowered before we hit the beach, we saw our men dying. Our ship carried 24 tanks and 200 Canadian troops. By 07.45, a hundred of the men were dead. I stayed onboard to receive and treat the wounded. Even though we were one big target, we were never hit once. That day saw me quickly convert from boyhood to manhood and yet it still breaks my heart every time I talk or think about those boys".
Very good condition.
