The Cameramen 1939-45
A series of six programmes
By the time the Allies invaded Europe in June 1944, the British Army had trained and equipped its own band of tough, independent cameramen. Commanding Officer Hugh Stewart remembers the kind of men who were selected and the training they were given.
Desmond O'Neill was one of the Sergeant Cameramen who landed on D-Day and his dramatic film was the first to be shown in the newsreels.
