 <description><![CDATA[Info from Maureen Kelly &quot;The man with the pipe is my father-in-law, William John Kelly (Bill) - the pipe was almost his ‘trademark’! As far as we know, he was not a Commando but – we understand - with the Military Police. As the war authorities expected to send him to Norway, they decided he should undergo arctic training with the Commandos. He joined them early in 1943. As you can see, at 34 years of age, he was a bit older than many of the others. He did not go with the Commandos when they left Braemar but was transferred to another unit in the Military Police. In 1944 his occupation is recorded as ‘Major: General List’.]]></description>
