L/CPL Brian Mullen

Hi all,

Back from my latest holiday in the Base Hospital and home at last.

But I have continued my never ending search for information I have found the following.

In his book D-DAY The Soldiers Story the author, Giles Milton mentions Brian Mullen and confirms that Mullen died at the beach.

Part of his email to me states: Everything I have read points to the fact that Sapper Mullen lost his life on the beach.

The search continues.

Regards

"Wounded and half drowned in landing, pulled over by the heavy rucksack, then picked out and pulled over the sand - Mullen the artist, like a broken doll, lay with both legs shattered, at the end of a bloody trail. He was beyond speech but out of pain; a glance showed a hopeless case and death was busy with him. A gifted man, Mullen should have landed later with the reserves, but he would not hear of it. No volunteer in the whole brigade was prouder of his beret."
