Description
This picture is credited to Sgt. Mike Lewis, Army Film Unit in one of the Hartenstein's roofless service buildings, originally the Orangery and situated close to 4th Brigade's HQ. This location was established in 2004 by Robert Voskuil. According to the book, The 156 Para Bn - "From Delhi to Arnhem" by John O'Reilly, the image features men from Lt St. Aubyn's escort from C Coy. With Pte Dugdale, far left and L/Cpl Roesnburg at the back of the group holding a pistol. Many others claim to be in this photograph. Some years later, veterans described seeing the cameraman 'posing' the men for the shot and began cat-calling them as they were doing it.
The image was taken on Saturday, 23rd September 1944. BU 1121. Photo taken by Sgt. Mike Lewis, AFPU.
