THE GREAT ESCAPE - Framed Collectors Piece

As night fell on the night of Friday 24 March 1944 preparations began for the culmination of an audacious plan to implement the mass breakout of Allied aircrew from Stalag Luft III, a prisoner-of-war camp some 100 miles south-east of Berlin. Promising to be the largest escape of its kind during World War II, the escape had involved the clandestine digging of three tunnels – Tom, Dick and Harry. In the end only Harry was used.

Personally signed by actor JOHN LEYTON who played Willie Dickes 'The Tunnel King' in the 1963 film, this unique copy has been returned to Keith's studio and hand embellished with an original acrylic Remarque in the lower border.
