ww2dbaseLeonard Arthur Puttnam, largely known by his nickname "Len", was a civilian photographer who was called up to service. He was given the rank of lieutenant and served with the War Office. Along with photographer Lieutenant Edward "Ted" Malindine, the two were sent to document the evacuation from Dunkerque, France; during that process, they were evacuated once out of the area, returned to record the evacuation of a another group of men, and then was evacuated a second time. He served the rest of the war in a similar capacity, documenting events in Britain, Ceylon, among other locations. Len Puttnam's son David Puttnam would later follow his footsteps.

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."

Winston Churchill
