I believe the officer 6th from the left in the front row is my uncle Jack McNeil:-
"The three raiding parties were reorganised and by 0100 hrs they had accurately established their position on the coast. Y force of 120 men from Nos 1 & 2 Troop was under the command of Captain J McNeil.....As they approached they heard the unmistakable skirl of bag pipes playing the 'Pwbrrachd of Donald Dubh'. In reply McNeil ordered his piper to play his Troop's march 'Green Hills'. In this way the two Troops met up without firing on each other."
