Tom Gintjee (on left) and a dozen unidentified men
wait for a mount-up call. Some of the helmets are adorned with scrim
and the man next to Tom has taken the time to insert some camouflaging
material in his netting. It is not certain that this was taken at
Mackall but the backdrop seems reasonable. [courtesy of Michel de Trez] |
