Artist depiction of officers of the Tyneside Scottish and the US Marines on Iceland, circa 1941.
The Pipes & Drums of the Tyneside Scottish parade before PM Winston Churchill during the Allied Occupation of Iceland, circa. 1941.
Both images are from OUTPOST IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC: Marines in the Defense of Iceland by Col. James A. Donovan, USMC Ret'd.
My great-uncle was a Corpsman with the Marines on Iceland in 1941-42.

My great uncle Danny Brown?
We believe that this is a photo of my great uncle, Danny Brown.
Can you tell me anything about his unit, etc., by this photo?
Thanks in advance, Gordon
Si Deus, quis contra? Spence and Brown on my mother's side, Johnston from my father, proud member of Clan MacDuff!
