Airborne Assault MuseumEditor's Note
Pre Normandy photograph
The signatures on the back of the photograph are by:
Major George Hewetson (C Coy Commander; succeeded Alistair Pearson as Commanding Officer in 1944)
A P Peters (CQMS C Company)
G M Ginger (Platoon Sgt No 8 Platoon C Company)
Lt R G Ellen (A Platoon Commander in C Company)
Although the note on the photograph records the photograph was taken in 1942, it seems more likely it was taken in early 1944 (based on the parachute course dates of two of the personnel in a similar photograph).
Personnel identifications by Captain Richard Fry.
