Marine Fred Farrington (27/3/23-14/9/07) who served on HMS Warspite before joining X Troop, 30 AU, in 1944.
I'll post pictures of Fred and his X Troop comrades in the Wartime Units Forum.
Regards
Cliff Farrington

Hi Cliff
Great photo which I will add to the archive shortly. If they are high resolution images as discussed in our email exchange you are probably better emailing them to me as the gallery has file size images. That way I can deal with them direct.
