This photograph of John Wintershausen is dated 27/9/43 on the reverse with the location given as Corpo di Carva. Thus it must have been taken very shortly after the action at Salerno for which he was awarded the Military Medal on 17/9/43. The location of the photograph is identical to the photograph of Alex ‘Jock Gray’ of the Signal Platoon which can be seen on this page, so it seems there could well be many other photos of DLI men taken at this time. Alex dated his photo as 1944 Gemmano, but the date on the reverse of this photo indicates otherwise. Memories can play tricks after six decades!
