I believe the officer 6th from the left in the front row is my uncle Jack McNeil:-
"The three raiding parties were reorganised and by 0100 hrs they had accurately established their position on the coast. Y force of 120 men from Nos 1 & 2 Troop was under the command of Captain J McNeil.....As they approached they heard the unmistakable skirl of bag pipes playing the 'Pwbrrachd of Donald Dubh'. In reply McNeil ordered his piper to play his Troop's march 'Green Hills'. In this way the two Troops met up without firing on each other."

My Father Sgt Grosser was a close friend of Ken Emerson, and of the few pictures he left us of his war time years, it seems many of them had been taken by Ken Emerson. All we had up till now was very small, not very good copies of some of the pictures seen here. It's wonderful to see so many images in such good condition.
