[QUOTE="sammyb, post: 43097, member: 1242"] Bir Soltane? Bir Guedaffia? Although they will have been together in B squadron - they were not in the same patrol. The book "The Phantom Major" gives a good overview of this phase quite well. There is a section that reads "Lieutenant Harry Poat... ...was in charge of the raid on Tripoli. He accompanied the party as far as the rendezvous [Bir Soltane I think] then turned off to carry out his task" There is nothing else I could find? Do you have any more names? Fred was part of Capt Murphy's patrol that was as follows... Capt Denis Murphy - KILLED Sergt Edward Badger - ESCAPED Private W Hearn ? ESCAPED Private R Guard ? ESCAPED L/Sergt Fred Senior - KILLED Corporal Leslie Brown - KILLED Pte Malvern Nixon ? KILLED Pte L. Buxton ? CAPTURED Pte E. Robinson ? CAPTURED Private A Hearne ? CAPTURED Private McClements ? CAPTURED Private A Simpson ? CAPTURED [/QUOTE]
