next to the PTI, the guy in the white trousers and white shirt.He tells me that
the picture was taken in Tripoli, Libya in either 1948 or 1949.
It is of his
Battalion's boxing team.
Please ask your
colleagues on your web site if they can help identify anybody, and the occasion.
My Dad seems to think it was prior to or after a
boxing match with Americans. He said the lads at the front in were Sgt. Fenan in
the boxing kit. He doesn't remember the CSM'S name or the Major's name, but then
its the Commanding Officer Col. Gordon Watson, then Major Berridge and RSM
George Howe. The next boxer is SGT Gery Whelan.
