Lieut Norman (Monty) Banks
This is my father after volunteering. We have some lovely family stories of them being “mobilised “ with bicycles. Having to make their own way up to Troon (he borrowed a car) He went on the Lofoten Islands raid . His escape map silk neckscarf which was given for the raid, if it went wrong...is now framed and displayed with his medals in the Fort William Commando museum. He then went back to The Tank Corp.

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.
