[QUOTE="Doug Goldsmith, post: 43100, member: 3828"] Sam, Thank you.That's another book I must get. The departure point was indeed Bir Guedaffia. Unfortunately I have no other names prior to Sicily. His best mate was a guy called Doug Eccles(who incidentally I was named after);he died in France on Operation Bullbasket but I don't think was with the SAS in North Africa. I am very impressed with the fact that you have been able to get all the names and details of the men in Fred's patrol. May I ask how you managed to do that because I'd love to do the same and establish who was with Lt Poat and my father on that particular raid in January 1943.In fact on a more general note , apart from books,are there any other sources of information that you have used?
