My father is in the picture. He is the 3rd soldier in the group of four just to the left of centre. I have a copy of the magazine 'Soldier' in which this photograph first appeared.

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
