[QUOTE="skipodonovan, post: 43294, member: 870"] Phil, This should help you out. The attached caption was drawn up by various 3 Sqn, 2nd SAS, vets. There may be the odd error but of those I know by sight it is correct. The photo was taken at Wivenhoe in October 1945 at disbandment of the Regiment. Some members of the Squadron had already been posted on or were away on courses so it does not show the full complement. The 75mm Pack Howitzer, nicknamed 'Molto Stanco', had been parachuted into Operation Tombola some months previously. See Roy Farran's book for details. Other squadrons, and some specific troops such as that used on Op Galia, also had their photos taken. All the best, Skip [/QUOTE]
