Identification
The guy behind Bill is my dad, Sammy Ryder. I have this picture an Dad always told me that the third guy, lying down, had been sent out to bring Bill and Dad (his spotter) back to the unit.
Dad dropped with David Haig Thomas who was the liaison officer with the 1st Canadian. David Haig Thomas was killed in an ambush shortly after the drop. Dad rejoined 4 commando approx. 3 days later. I'd appreciate any more information about his service.
Pete Ryder

Cheers Andy
