Unknown Post War Formation Sign
This photograph was taken from a photograph album that belonged to a Sgt in the intelligence Corps. He appears to have served from 1946 in Italy, Egypt and Palestine. The sign would suggest a 'cloak and dagger' role.

Member Mike Jackson is the man to help on this. I can only add that the Sandeman Port figure was often found on the shelves of Intelligence Corps bars!

Thanks for that. I haven't noticed Mike being on the forum much lately but I very much hope that he will see this thread.
The Sandeman's point is interesting but the figure is holding a staff in one hand and a dagger in the other rather than a glass of port. |

Mike Jackson is on the case!
The vehicle could be a Commer Q4 3 ton truck. Tim

Thanks for the update.
Amongst the paperwork that came with the album there is a reference to 55 Field Security Section, Intelligence Corps. I am sure that this will be a pointer to the identification. |

Rather than the Sandeman Port man, I'd rather suggest "cloak and dagger".
