Fred Ham
This photo found amongst the collection of Ernie Brooks BEM of No.4 Cdo. (and presumably from the writing below sent to him by George Scanlon MM many years ago) has the following written on the back in pencil:
Lowering a casualty 200 feet using the cliff haul method, Wales May 1943. Return to G. Scanlon, Troon.
In pen someone else has written:
Fred Ham being lowered E.B. in charge of operation. Beat all previous times taken. Major John Hunt very pleased
We have photos of Frederick Ham and Ernie Brooks in our gallery. Both were attached to No.4 Cdo from the Glosters. Click on this link to view one of them:https://www.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/4/IMG_8351.jpg.html
