Great references there Keith ... Op Tarbrush and George Lane

I believe he was there when the No.10 (I-A) Cdo 3 (X) Tp memorial was unveiled at Aberdovey

A very memorable occasion and unforgettable reception afterwards.
What struck me was the number of X Tp veterans who were there (very few still alive missed it), the distances they travelled ... from virtually all continents, and the amount of money they raised between them for the memorial.

Sorry if this was off at a tangent, but you mention a remarkable man (George Lane) and it was a fantastic experience
