This is a Support Troop evidenced by the 3 inch Mortars and .303 inch Vickers Medium Machine Guns (MMGs) set up in front. The tripod mounted equipment stood front centre looks like a range finder judging by the lenses at each end of the tubular fitting.

The Troopers are grouped around a 20mm Oerlikon Cannon used by crew for defence.The two half moon fittings to the right would fit around the Gunners’ shoulders when firing.

These Troopers are carrying the folding bicycles issued to Commando and Airborne Forces and which had been specially developed for that purpose.

This Commando is meeting a Yank judging by the Rifle he is carrying which is a M1 Garand.

He has also been doing a spot of huntin’ on the side and has a brace of Pheasants over his shoulder heading for the cooking pot, hope he was ‘In Season!’

He is also wearing short puttees and not the more usual webbing anklets these were still in use in the Royal Marines into quite late on when the US Style High Boot was first issued.
