1st U.S. Ranger Battalion, Training at Achnacarry, 1942

I visited the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, yesterday and
viewed the "Photographic Record of 1st United States Ranger Battalion in training at
S.S. Commando Depot, Achnacarry, Scotland," which is in the Lucian K. Truscott Collection.

There are many splendid Signal Corps photos of Ranger training at Achnacarry, unfortunately, scanning
of images by the public is not permitted. Nonetheless, I did have my camera and was able
to take some decent photos of the photos.

Major William O. Darby, MG Truscott, and LTC Charles Vaughan of the CBTC, Achnacarry, are
featured in several of the photos.

The attached resized image shows Lieutenant Alick Cowieson with Major William O. Darby.

I created a Flickr album for all of my photos::

There is second Signal Corps photographer who has chosen an interesting vantage point.
