[QUOTE="sammyb, post: 42626, member: 1242"] Thanks for that John. I'll take a look. I was reading "THE ORIGINALS" by Gordon Stevens and came across a part where Dave Kershaw was describing a scene he came across during the following nights... "After a couple of days and nights, we came to the Makele and Masous track, that cut right across out front, and we saw four or five bodies, which was going completely away from the direction that we were going. I got the glasses on them - I had binoculars with me - and it seemed they were Sergeant Yeats with Tranfield, Boland, Calhoun, and maybe a couple more. SO we whistled and I got my .45 out and fired a few rounds but they took no notice. So we carried on." I think the Sgt Yeats must be CSM Yates? who was in in the same plane with Stirling, Tait, Cheyne and 6 ORs. (I think Dave Kershaw was in Paddy Maynes group though). Boland must be Stanley Bolland who is in the Roll of Honour. I don't know about Tranfield and Calhoun though. [/QUOTE]
