Framed Portrait photograph of Charlie Dean. Overall size 76cm x 56cm. This is his story: "A few days after D-Day we were still near the beaches and we were given a football for some badly needed respite. The game was England V Scotland, about 30 a side and tunics for goalposts. As we played, the Luftwaffe attacked and three planes were immediately shot down by the beach defences and we saw three parachutes land in the trees right next to where we were playing. No one seemed to take any notice, so eventually I tapped my CO, who was also playing, on his arm and asked what was to be done with the three German pilots. He turned and bellowed ‘Bugger them, we’re loosing 3-2 ! Get stuck in".
