Framed portrait black and white photograph of Normandy Veteran Wilf Shaw. Overall size including frame 76cm x 56cm. This is his story:
"At one stage of the fighting in Normandy a shell came over. I was down in the trench but, of course, the 18 radio set had to be above me. I lay in the bottom of the trench, flatter than a pancake, sweating, cursing and praying. So this shell came over and exploded, hellish close, the 18 set went for a burton. I gathered it all up, 3 or 4 holes in it, “Can’t possibly be working” I thought. I pressed the pressel switch, ” Dog 7 ! report my signals” – pregnant pause – back came the reply, “Dog 7, hear you strength 5, over”. I just couldn’t believe it"
