The picture was of No. 7 Platoon, No. 2 Company of the 13th . Battalion (East) Norfolk Home Guard. The Platoon was made up of men from Erpingham and Itteringham, and taken on the 14th May 1944 on Aldborough Green to mark the 4th Anniversary of the forming of the Home Guard.  Most Home Guard Platoons due to their size (80 to 120 men) and geographic spread had at least two officers running them. The No. 7 Platoon Commander was Lieutenant Ernest William Bray and the Platoon Officer was 2nd Lieutenant Ernley Richard Craske. Company Orders from the 16th August 1944 have the Platoon as numbering, 2 Officers and 90 Other Ranks. Sadly this means that only about half the Platoon were actually present for the Platoon Picture. Also present for the No. 7 Platoon picture and seated in the from row was the Battalion Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel William James Spurrell D.S.O. M.C., His Second in Command Major C.H.G. Walker. And the No. 2 Company Commander Major Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer (Felbrigg Hall) and his second in Command Captain Henry William Browne.
