And I'll second Mark agreeing with me

When I was looking for Photos for my Kolwezi remembrance, I came across your avatar, I forget who had put it on the web, not you. I wouldn't have used it as I didn't have time to ask you permission, the whole thing was kind of a rush job, and I was trying out a new technic for transferring from one slid to the next.
Most of the photos that I found had the Kepi Blanc info watermark on them. I don't agree with this at all. What gives KB info the right to put their watermark on every photo that they have ever used? Have they asked that person their permission to claim their image as their own?
Sure they can write an article and copy or use a photo and add their watermark as long as it does not appear in the public domaine. Alamy are the worst for that.

I would have loved to use that photo, info wasn't even around at that time ! It would be different if it was Képi Blanc magazine.

I used this photo because it's a classic. I found it on Operation Red Bean, which is the name that Belgian Para Commandos gave to their support role in the Ops.
It was the great man Sir Winston Churchill, who said that no operation should have a silly name (or words to that effect) because he did not want family to learn later that their loved ones had been killed on operation...
As it happens two Para Commandos had been killed on operation Red Bean.
