The attached photograph shows members of 2nd Green Jackets (KRRC) in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in 1961/2, soon after the wall went up.

Can you identify any of the people in the photgraph below? The fellow on the left is a Lance-Corporal. The commander of the Ferret is a Corporal. The chap second from the right is wearing glasses. I imagine the driver is a Rifleman.

Surely one of the best men to ask would be someone who was there at the time and was a Corporal  :  Major Roy Stanger.   His memory is pretty good.

Driver, possibly Pete Batey, also in the ferret with him Nick Carter, standing side on is a chap we knew as Buddy Holly (with his glasse on he was a dead ringer for the famous Buddy Holly) the last one is familiar but I cannot name him right away.

The commander of the ferret is Cpl Nick Carter (Recce Pl) the driver is not Peter Batey he was a Cpl in 'D' Company 2GJ. The driver was a 3 year regular also in the Recce Pl (Name ?), the other two were men from 'B' Company 2GJ who took over from 'C' Company (Names ?)
