Photo taken by Lt R W Johnston

On the back of the photo, Lt Johnston has written: “Captain George (Geordie) Beal, OC “A” Company complete with kilt, hose and typical quizzical grin.
Wee Geordie is a little bundle of dynamite and capable of tremendous explosions. But if you are still standing after the blast everything goes fine.
A good egg.”
