Dad in WW11 Desert Campaign

WINNER : Resurrected PAD Gallery

Dad is the front right stretcher bearer....from a cinema newsreel entitled 'Desert Victory'. To her great surprise my mother, at the cinema in 1943, spotted him in the British Pathe newsreel. She wrote to the War Office who managed to obtain this still photo for her. It is also part of the documentary film of the same name which has been shown on TV.


other sizes: small medium original auto
