Great picture Hanno, I've seen the 'right half' of this picture published before on it's own. Yes, on 23 Oct 44, 2nd Seaforths were 'lifted' by Kangaroos, but they were of the 1st CAPC Sqn, who as of 2359hrs, 23 Oct 44 ceased to exist, being absorbed into the 'new' 1st CAPCR, effect 0001hrs 24 Oct 44.

Cheers
