Des Rochford No.2 Cdo. provided some notes for this photo to Paul Bell. Des wrote " Lake Comacchio April 1945. Self and Scouse Hale 2 Cdo. Heating up some meat and vegetable in a mess tin on a tommy cooker during a rest in the battle. My assault jacket with water bottle in one of the pockets is in front of me. I had no idea it was being taken by a roaming cameraman Swet who was the medical officers bodyguard" .

nb. Pte Zvi Swet was seriously injured shortly after this. He had previously served in 51 ME Commando. There are pictures of him in our gallery at post war reunions.]]> en-us Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.8 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 22:40:12 +0100 120 https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/d/461-9/Brewing+Up.JPG <![CDATA[Scouse Hale and Des Rochford, No.2 Commando, Lake Comacchio April 1945.]]> https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/2/Brewing+Up.JPG.html <![CDATA[]]> https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/main.php?g2_view=comment.ShowAllComments&g2_itemId=460 https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/main.php?g2_view=comment.ShowAllComments&g2_itemId=460 ]]>
