Not meaning to through doubt on anything, but I think the confusion between the caption for the photo and the war diary may be because I don't think the troops or carrier in the photo are from the Black Watch of Canada. The shoulder patch visible on the the Sergeant to the right is of the wrong shape and there would be no reason to have a Roman numeral XII on the front plate.
But I always am willing to admit that I could be wrong.
