Many photos of this period were taken by Zvi Zwet who was formerly in 51 ME Cdo and then No.2 Cdo. Zvi Zwet became No.2's semi official photographer, taking a number of very spectacular photos, until unfortunately losing both his legs on a Teller mine in April 1945 during the fighting at Lake Comacchio. There are photos of Zvi at reunions in our gallery.

George Wildgoose
George Wildgoose a Royal Engineers Private was Fred Holt's brother-in-law, he died 15th July 1940 and is buried in Ronse Cemetery East Flanders Belgium. I have done a lot of research on soldiers from the 51st Highland Division who escaped in the Ronse area while being marched through the area as POW's. The local people often mention a soldier who died or was killed at this time and say he was buried in Ronse. I'm wondering if anyone connected to Fred Holt's family know anything about his death which is at an unusual time as there was no fighting in the area at that time.

Is there any indication as to where this photograph was taken?
Also is there any clue (perhaps on the original) to the first names of the men?
