10 Photographic Gp 6 May 44
 

Sorting through Alfred Price's photos, I came across an original photo dated 6 May 1944 of German soldiers scattering on a beach and the note 10 PG (as well as it being marked Top Secret). Anyone have a note of any missions this day, presumably from Chalgrove? I have a note that this could have been 2/Lt Albert Lanker of 31st PRS at Berques-sur-Mer?
