John Moore - photo frame

The big photo was taken just before D-Day. John is far left, then Henry Willis, Stan Peckett, and Doug Thompson.

John got a minor injury on the beach, Henry got a facial injury from shrapnel, and John thinks Stan got killed shortly after landing.

John thinks his unit of four were equipped with 2 Stens and 2 rifles.  John never used his rifle,
but used a liberated German Schmeiser and an American Colt 45 instead.

The caption on the photo bottom left reads “The Corridor to Berlin”.

John was initially billeted at Brandon Mansions in Great Yarmouth, which by 2021 had been renamed The Nelson Hotel
