You might find the following photos/captions useful:

Hi Col,
Once again thank you, for your continued help.

Next puzzle why is his Wellington only recorded as B503 on official AWM records normally has another letter ?

Barbara Tribe, superb sculptress, AWM have quite a few papers on her meeting with Triggs unfortunately my wallet/advanced fees didn't expand to the amount required for copying etc.,

Andy
