We only had one casualty during the period this unit was operating in Hong-Kong and that was when Marine Searby who was crushed between two LCA’s. I can’t recall if he is actually on this photo. The officer commanding the unit is in the centre with his name written on the image. He was Captain 'Jeep' Dawson."
