The top photograph features Sgts Briggs, Harry Hebb, Shackleton and Stevenson. The middle photograph features James at right in the middle row and John Wise, bottom right. The next photograph down is of James on one of his unit’s BSA motorbikes. The certificate at top right records Sgt James Shackleton’s Mention in Despatches for his actions in Tunisia. The photo of Sgt Wise fishing at bottom was taken in 1942 in the grounds of the 70th Field Regiment’s then Sergeants’ Mess, at Mersham-Le-Hatch, near Ashford, Kent. And the photo at right below is captioned: ‘Fishing in a bucket with Bennie Lawson.’
