John,

I'll have a go: My guess is the bloke partly visible in the centre of frame, back to us, wearing a ball cap, light blue shirt - he's closest to the Dodge in a group of four with a woman to his left wearing blue and carrying a back pack.... right?

Rick: may 2015 be a better year than 2014 obviously was, by the sounds of things! Hope you are, indeed, back out in that shed of yours, swinging on spanners in the Gippsland heat, very soon.

Best regards wishing you a speedy recovery,

Mike

Hi Rick,
Good to hear you are taking an interest again and making progress healthwise, just take it easy.

Mike, I have looked hard at the photo and not sure, even though I was there (we took Rick and Jill to Arromanches that day) and my Bedford is in the background, the only people I can recognise are Ray and Jenny from NZ who were there with a Dodge as part of the Anzac Convoy.

best regards and a Happy New Year,
Richard

Thanks Richard...

So, Rick, do you recognise yourself anywhere in that image???? Now that should take up five minutes of your hospital day....

Mike
