    Just found another pic of the second man. I'm now pretty sure it's NOT the same bloke. Thanks for your input fellas............:D

    Now seeing the second picture I would have to agree with you Paul.

    I know what they are

    Looking at the pic more closely, I think there may be 3 GP's :unsure:

    I have nearly finished Delhi to Arnhem 156 Bn. I have come across a pic of Arnhem survivors taken at Nijmegan, the pic is mainly 1st Border but i think i recognise the man at the centre of the pic, fourth from the left, does anyone else recognise him?

    If you mean front row centre:unsure: its Lance-Corporal Thomas McKewan (No.18 Platoon, 10th Battalion) I suspect you do as he is 10th Battalion.

    Hello Steve,

    As far as I can tell the only guy yet to be identified in that picture is standing in the front row, second from the left. Hope the attached pic helps.

    All the best.............. :)

    Steve,

    Well found Steve. I can't help with identification other than to say what a great picture! The number on the Dakota in the background might be helpful. The faces there are just so clear that hopefully someone can nail the unit.

    Cheers ...
