If anyone is wondering what the picture is, it is Lord Lovat briefing the officers of No.4 Commando on the parade ground of the Drop Redoubt prior to a early morning raid on the beaches of Hardelot. It was taken on the afternoon of the 21st April 1942. Tall chap with the moustache is Lt. James Ennis, an ex-policeman who volunteered to join the commandos from the Royal Artillery. Being a ex-copper, he carried a homemade cosh consisting of an iron bar wrapped in a rubber tube to clout Germans with.
