Notes
This picture appeared as plate 58 in DETOUR edited
by Lieut. J. R. Wood, M.C. Royal Canadian Engineers, Falcon Press 1946.
The Plate inscription reads:
THE COURTYARD IN WINTER
MAJOR W.F.ANDERSON MBE MC & BAR
Royal Engineers
A Regular Sapper Officer who, despite being taken out of circulation at
Dunkirk wore the MBE,MC and Bar and three service ribbons.
He was an exceedingly ingenious and clever craftsman with his hands.
When the Escape Committee lost their
"Pukka" camera on a Blitz search, he
made them one out of somebody's old
glasses and bits of wood. Our Australian
photographer, (in peacetime a professional), said
it did better work than the manufactured
one! |
