The location of this photo is that of the Drop Redoubt fort at the Western Heights at Dover, and not Dover Castle as labelled. 'C' Troop are sitting on the edge of the 1860s sidearms store on the terreplein. No.4 Commando were stationed at the fort for the five nights of the raid.

Information
My father John Mc Arthur from Largs Ayrshire Scotland served with Lord Lovat and spoke often with high regard of piper Bill Millan , I am looking for information on my late father who I believe was wounded twice returned to his company and was I think at Normandy. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated
Archie.

I think that's my dad, 2nd from left as you look at photo, back row. George (Geordie) Harris. Commando-wise, he got about a bit!

I'm pretty sure that's my dad, middle front row, behind the gun that's set up. George (Geordie) Harris.
