Just heard from Don this morning and he added:

 

Good morning, Marion!

 

How that photo does get around!! I don't know where your English friend obtained it, but I'll guess he picked it up from Dom Biello's website, http://www.ww2-airborne.us/. I supplied it to Dom a couple of years ago. In fact, a framed 8"x10" of it is hanging on the wall next to me right now. The caption your friend supplied omitted the name of Cpl. Ernie Janssen, whose head is visable just behind that of Jerry Janes...

 

Now we know who the mystery man is! :armata_PDT_37:
