"The Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU)
A major change came with the decision in October 1941 to expand the AFU into what became the new Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU) in January 1942. Each AFPU deployed to a war zone was subdivided into sections comprising several teams comprising two sergeant-photographers (one still and one cine), coordinated by a 'conducting officer' who would delegate tasks after consulting with local military commanders and was also a photographer in his own right. Macdonald left for Cairo at the end of November 1941 to command the deployment of No.1 AFPU in the Middle East, assisted by Captain Ted Bacon and taking with them 35mm De Vry cine cameras and Super Ikonta stills cameras. Major Hugh Stewart took command in London at their Pinewood Studios HQ, where he played a critical role in establishing the character and training programme of the new organisation before taking No.2 AFPU into Tunisia for 'Operation Torch'. No.2 AFPU were to absorb much of the personnel of No.1 AFPU and subsequently covered the campaigns in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy (although Macdonald remained in overall charge at Middle East Command HQ). Hugh Stewart left the command of what became a greatly-dispersed No.2 AFPU to Geoffrey Keating in September 1943 (followed in Spring 1944 by Colonel James 'Monty' Stopford, Earl of Courtown) in order to establish No.5 AFPU ready for the campaign into North-West Europe following D Day. No.5 AFPU eventually had a complement of 9 officers and 72 other ranks. The AFPU photographs taken on D-Day and later at Arnhem are some of the most iconic images of the war. After a somewhat confused start in its relationship to the SEAC Film Unit and US film units, No.9 AFPU under Bryan Langley and Derek Knight covered the war in the Far East. In 1943 there was an unsuccessful attempt by Stewart to create No.4 AFPU as an airborne unit in Tunisia but there was a difficulty in persuading existing AFPU officers to undergo parachute training and the plan was abandoned after Stewart returned to Europe. An airborne team was, however, created within No.5 AFPU ready for the Arnhem operation in September 1944. "
