I believe this is Geoffrey Caton KIA during the first day of Operation Husky during the SRS operation
 
Hi,

Yes the photo is of Geoff Caton. But this clothing would not have been the what he was wearing in Sicily. He is wearing a jersey under his heavy service dress tunic, possibly from ski training in Lebanon or during cold weather in North Africa.

During the raid on Cape Murro di Purco the SRS were wearing light trousers and shirts. Remembering it was July.


Cheers Ian
