Could this be him? The photograph is out of focus, but it could be, couldn't it?

    This little snap shot came with a bundle of other photographs. It is very small, out of focus and taken from some distance away. Given that there are soldiers on parade and that that the man himself appears to be surrounded by staff officers, it might just be him. I will leave it to you to decide.

    The soldiers are Americans.

    Would American soldiers in Britain not be reviewed/inspected before D. Day? Perhaps given a rousing speech before departure?

    Americans wore those M1917 helmets when they first arrived in Northern Ireland.
    By 1944 they had been replaced with the M1.



    Churchill was photographed wearing that outfit.

    The chap in the background with the coat over his arm is Churchill’s personal protection officer of many years standing - DI Thompson.
