My Grandpa and others...
The guy with the mine detector is my Grandfather. Can you spot who any of the other guys are?

The photo was taken outside Tripoli early in February 1943, 13 Field Company gave an exhibition of mine-lifting in conjunction with 51st Highland Division.

That's an interesting photo. Chamberlain (if you mean Neville) couldn't have been there as he was dead by then. I'm pretty sure that he passed away a few months after he was forced to resign as PM in 1940.
