Framed Black & White Photograph of D-Day Veteran Peter Smoothey. Overall size including frame 76cm x 56cm. This is his story: "I was 19 and on a tank-landing ship that had travelled overnight from Portsmouth. I remember it like it was yesterday. We were all young. It was absolute chaos. You couldn’t move for boats and ships and the Germans were on the beach waiting for us. We hadn’t slept much and it was action stations most of the way. I manned a gun turret at the stern. A lot of the army were seasick and felt rotten. They were glad to get ashore, but the fighting was strong after that".
