Unit query
Most, if not all, are not RM and several appear to be French? That coupled with the information in the CA newsletter on Scrivens being No 4 Commando, makes me question the unit designation of 4 SS Bde Signals. On checking the original post in the forum this is referred to as a troop in No 4 Commando. Title changed. Photo relocated.

I think this photo was taken first days of september 1944 or late August, in SAINT-MACLOU ( near River SEINE ).
We could see the church.
There is other photos with men of 1st commando Brigade there front of the chuch, in the gallery.
1st commando brigade stayed there, until their embarked in ARROMANCHES the 7th september.

Thank you so much for the names for this photo - we've had this photo for years but my grandad couldn't remember where he was. He's Pte Peter Pocock, front row, 4th from left.
