On the reverse side of the image is written: Darling quite a nice one – Reading from left to right – Gen. Paget C in C. British Army, Rt Hon Sinclair – in charge of aircraft production Winnie Churchill Gen A Kelso Major General of Infantry —– — — I have just finished firing the Bren in the assault course which they still watching.
- The Right Honourable Sir Archibald Sinclair served as the UK Secretary of State for Air, as opposed to Aircraft Production, during the critical years of World War II, overseeing the operational requirements of the RAF, including the acquisition and deployment of aircraft.
- Sir Bernard Charles Tolver Paget commanded the 21st Army Group in the United Kingdom from June to December 1943 prior to General Montgomery taking over. In January 1944 he became Commander in Chief Middle Eastl Command until October 1946, when he retired from the army.
- Major General John Utterson–Kelso served as General Officer Commanding (GOC) 47th (London) Infantry Division until April 1942. While in that position he became the first divisional GOC to incorporate battle drill into the training of units and higher formations. This so impressed General Sir Bernard Paget, the Commander-in-Chief, Home Forces, that he made Utterson-Kelso head of the infantry branch of the Directorate of Military Training at Headquarters Home Forces, holding this post until January 1944. He became GOC 76th Infantry Division in March 1944, before returning to his role as GOC 47th (London) Infantry Division in September 1944; he remained in that role until the end of the war.
