    We were soldiers once and proud. Jack Diamond could remember everyone in his Squadron and their Regt Number.

    The more i look at these phot,s the more i think they were not taken in Berlin..the Div sign worn on the ARM is that of the 5th INFANTRY DIVISION .I think the ROYALS were part of the RECCE REGTS attached to the 5th inf div.that dates the photo,s around 1945-1946 time.maybe JIM LEES can help or MAJ DIMOND

    Hello John (trooper847)

    Thanks for the information, the photograph was taken in Demark 1995, the occasion was the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation.

    Will write the name of the identified Royals on the back of photograph.

    Many thanks
