My Uncle Fusilier Robert Salonicka Woodman row 2 (4) Killed at St Nazaire. My Dad and Uncle spoke of him so many times that I feel I knew him although never met him. So proud of him, and indeed all of these men.

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.
