Looks like a Beretta to me. The Thompson has a different profile. If in N. Africa they would have had plenty of opportunity to pick up a Beretta.

I have to say that it looks more like Black Watch red hackles than it does Camerons' cap badges on the blokes, tams in that last 'infantry on tank in the desert' photo. Two similar pics of different groups by the same photographer????

Your point taken about a badly frayed cap badge backing is taken. However, there is this: BRITISH ARMY TUNISIA 1943 (NA 1670) - the description of the image is noteworthy.

Am I missing someting here, Paul? The 51st (Highland) Division had battalions from The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, The Seaforth Highlanders, The Gordon Highlanders, The Black Watch and The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. What is noteworthy about the description?

"Valentine tank carrying infantry of the Black Watch, March 1943."
