These men are from the U.S.29th Provisional Rangers
(intake 01.02.-04.03.1943).
They are wearing their one-piece herringbone coveralls and
leggings.

No 4 is Lt.R.W.Pantall MM, 3Cdo and CBTC
See also "CBTC Officers'Mess 1945"
He is also to be seen in the 1945 IWM film "Story of the Green Beret", leading the attack from LCA's on Loch Lochy.

Ernest Arthur Paget
7th from left 2nd row (tallest one in the middle) is my father Ernest Arthur Paget. He was in No. 4 commando and took part in the Dieppe raid. His service book shows him as being in HOC from December 1943 to January 1945
