Photograph of senior British and American officers posing for the image with Sir Winston Churchill. The photograph was probably taken in April 1942, when some American senior officers and the Military Attaché reviewed the Guards Armoured Division displaying their capabilities on Salisbury Plain. The officers in the picture are partly named as: (from left to right): Lt Gen Bernard Paget; Lt Col William Pasfield Oliver, two unnamed American officers, Maj Gen Allan Adair and Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill (seated in the car). The driver is from the Grenadier Guards. There is a small American flag visible flying from the front of the car and other soldiers visible behind them. From an album of 271 photographs collated by General Sir James Newton Rodney Moore, Grenadier Guards, with images taken between 1940-1949 in places such as Windsor, the Guards Depot, Canada, Germany, Belgium and Tunisia.
