I also note that the 'commander' in the second pic is wearing white armbands. Either 'Directing Staff' or an umpire on an exercise ? Justin, do you have any info ref units your Grandfather was in ?

Hello Roddy,
in my limited knowledge of the numbers,i would say yes it would be a C number.
According to my Mums info this was Grandads initial training on carriers,
That would explain the fellow with the white armband,he was probably Grandads instructor.
after he went to Kokoda and was injured there he was shipped back to Australia,after he recovered enough he became an instructor with 2/3 Aust MG Battalion.

Justin.
