Today I found a book about the Royal Marines in a bookshop. I found one interesting photo of a line of three Ram Command/O.P.'s driving down a Normandy beach, but I did not think it was worth buying the book for that picture alone, although it is a really nice one.
Luckily, the Public Archives number was listed so I just looked it up on collectionscanada.ca:

There's no digital picture available online, but maybe Clive can look it up for us?
