Re: Colourised Pictures
Corporal John 'Jack' William Sillito
Was a member of a four-man SAS patrol (1 SAS 'A' Squadron) tasked to blow up a strategic railway line, behind the enemy's positions, just before the offensive at El Alamein.
After a firefight with the enemy, Sillito got separated from the rest of his group, and set out to walk well over 100 miles back to the British lines, without food or water, a gruelling week-long experience which he only just survived.
This photograph was taken after spending several days in hospital following his rescue, with his feet still bandaged. November 1942.
He was awarded the Military Medal and Bar in October 1943, as a Corporal (acting Sergeant) Nº 324811 of the Staffordshire Yeomanry, Royal Armoured Corps and served in Africa and Sicily
