Hi Stephane
I have posted this message on behalf of Chris Sanford-Pooley, in case you miss the other one. Chris wants to know if you have received the information sent to you recently. Joe Sanford Pooley is the grandson of Pte. Fred Pooley of No.4 Commando. Joe and Chris have kindly provided 2 other photos in addition to the one above. One of E Troop and one of Fred himself. They are both now in the No.4 Cdo album.

Please forgive my ignorance but is this not the same photograph in the unit history of No.4 Commando?

Hi
I am not quite sure which of the above 2 pictures you are referring to, and where the same picture is meant to be. In the CVA Commando History, listed in the index on the left of this page, for No.4 Cdo. there is a different picture to these two. Can you clarify what exactly you mean?
Regards

The book is 'The Fighting Forth' by James Dunning. I picked it up in a book shop last week and there is an identical sniper traning photograph in there. I was wondering if it is the same photograph?
