12th Devonshire Normandy Video footage?

Hi

There is a British Pathe (IWM) shot in Normandy titled;
SCENES IN THE NORMANDY BEACHHEAD D+1, D+2 (PART 8)

SCENES IN THE NORMANDY BEACH-HEAD D+1, D+2 (PART 8) [Allocated Title]

There are several scenes which may be of 12th Devonshire, which show an officer using a field phone and liaising with commando’s.

Has anyone confirmed if this is indeed the 12th Devonshire?

in looking at the officers of the 12th one possibility is Captain Carroll.

Anybody have any further information?

 

Hi,

For the two Officers below I have:

"1944, Amfreville area, France.
Captain Hugh Ward (KIA on 12 June) of 211 Airlanding Light Battery on the left and CO of 6 Commando, Lieutenant-Colonel Derek Mills-Roberts."

Yo,

Sorry, but I no longer have the source for the above statement. May have picked it up on Twitter when it was still openly accessible.
