A wounded British officer being helped to a dressing station. (Operation Archery) The officer is (was) Captain O'Flaherty. He remained in the army and eventually became a Brigadier. He had been shot by a German sniper in both eyes. He lost one eye and wore a black eye patch thereafter.
The soldier on the right is Derek Gordon Page - a commando. He subsequently left the commandos and served with the Gurkas in India fighting in Burma and eventually ending the war in Indonesia where he met a Dutch prisoner of war who he subsequently married. He left the army with the rank of Captain.

Rene Navrault
Can someone tell me how and when he came to England? I would like to hear from anyone with information about the French commandos at Eastbourne. Thank you.
