This is NOT a composite of a set of three photographs. It is three partial scans of a very large photograph (almost 30 inches wide, while my scanner does 14 inches max.), the segments of which were then "stitched" together.

I am thrilled to see this set of 3 partial scans of such a large group of servicemen . There are 3 of our family who embarked to Britain in 1941-1944. Two were killed in 1944 and 1945. I have service #s and are hopeful of obtaining photos if possible of the two who never came home. We have no pictures of them. Thank you for your service.
