Framed Portrait Photograph of Alan Gullis. Overall size including frame 76cm x 56cm. This is his story: "Edna and I were married on May 6th, exactly a month to the day before D Day, so I’ll never be able to forget my Anniversary! Due to a mix up with the military, we were both only given a 48 hour pass and yet I had booked our accommodation for a week. The day after we were married a policemen came to our door and ordered me back to my unit and I left immediately. Unfortunately and due to some bad luck, at Paddington Station an MP checked my pass and arrested me. I eventually got 14 days behind the wire at a military compound at Borden in Hampshire and missed D Day. D Day plus 11, I arrived in Normandy in an American landing craft surrounded by complete strangers. We were ordered to simply follow the man in front. I ended up working Mullberry Harbour as a driver and later I became a regimental policeman".
