George Norton Barnes used to fondly talk about Pune, so my guess is this is taken in India.

Alastair Cameron
My Grandfather Alastair Cameron is back row centre, brown jacket and not looking at the camera! He always wore the kilt to reunions and I believe was well known in Spean Bridge as he lived locally until his death.

Date of Picture
Charlie Palmer thinks this might have been taken about a fortnight after D-Day. He thinks F-Troop were relieved by the Paras 5 days after D-Day and were staying in Breville.
