This is Mather and Alston, it is used in Mather's book When the Grass Stops Growing. But it must have been taken some time before 18.1.1943 as Mather was captured on 17.12.1942. I believe this was taken at the beginning of the raid he was captured on, probably around El Aghlia or even Bir Zelten. Sometime between November 20 and December 6, 1942.
