This is such a great photo I had to share it with the forum. I found it at the NARA on Friday. Caption reads: "Lt. John Lee Warner, British Rifle Instructor at a Commando Depot, somewhere in Britain, giving instructions to U.S. Rangers, who are training there. "Scotland, February 9, 1943. "Lt. John Lee Warner of 29th Ranger Bn., Speanbridge, Scotland." http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwII/70-42/70-42c.htm Spean Bridge Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland Spean Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bed and Breakfast accommodation, Spean Bridge Commando Monument, Fort William, Scotland III-SC 180092, Credit NARA. If anyone wants a high-res version of the photo, just let me know. Dave
