    It is felt that three of the four people are known in this photo but does anyone know the name of the man facing the camera - perhaps the driver of the jeep?

    Tom,
    The question is not the ones who are known but the man presumably the driver facing the camera......

    Here you go Tom. Sadly I can't help with the guy facing the camera. Possibly a batman for one of the officers??

    I got the name somewhere, was told by Dr Groeneweg, couple of years ago, will see if I can find it.

    By the way, why do you want the name, is it for a publication?

    Stamp,
    Not for publication.....I'm sure many other Arnhem enthusiasts would be interested in knowing..but as my old friend the Doctor is no longer with us, the question is where did he get the name from?

    For info people one of my GP expert friends has suggested either Lt Bottomly or Captain Fletcher of No 1 Wing.....

    Still trying to find the answer of Mr Groeneweg but I recall, that it was a not an officer, but a driver or a batman.
