Now if 2 plus 2 makes 4, it might explain the rather individual stye of uniform?

    I met him once, many years later in, I think, the mid 1950's, wearing a wetsuit and looking rather less than dapper, after his and first attempt by anyone, ever, of surfing UP the river Severn on a tidal wave! So? I wonder? Is that the same chap?

    This site - https://www.thefedoralounge.com/thre...y.19732/page-2 - simply lists the photo as "Officer, France 1944" when I tried a google image search. That page and this thread were the only exact matches it found.

    Thank you. Well, 1944 is towards the end of the war. So..........possibly?? The plot thickens!
