I visited the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, today and
viewed the "Photographic Record of 1st United States Ranger Battalion in training at
S.S. Commando Depot, Achnacarry, Scotland," which is in the Lucian K. Truscott Collection.

There are many splendid Signal Corps photos of Ranger training at Achnacarry, unfortunately, scanning
of images by the public is not permitted. Nonetheless, I did have my camera and was able
to take some decent photos of the photos. Here is one that I believe will be of interest
to your site.

I have just created a Flickr album for all of my photos. I will have more to process and upload tomorrow:

By the way, I have contributed Signal Corps photos from our National Archives in College Park,
Maryland, to this site in the past.

I resized this photo to 981x1000 so I could post it here.

It is also uploaded, full-size, to my Flickr album.
