4th September, so perfect excuse to post ‘Major Stewart Fotheringham and CSM Low of 'X' Company Scots Guards’ again. Mopping up on the advance to Brussels #OTD 1944.
Sgt Laing photographed the scene. Bloody excellent!

Yes, this popped up on the MAFVA Facebook page yesterday, was quick to point out it was Ai rubbish. The use of IWM reference numbers, particularly pisses me off. Stephen Fisher highlighted one the other day, that claimed to be a photo by Jimmy Mapham… fml
New stuff from N&M Press.
Yep, details like that are what makes this whole photograph so magnificent.
A truly heroic moustache!
