Lt. Sitrneman was a bombardier killed in action in 18 April 1944 on a mission to Dunkirk. Lt. Rush was a bombardier killed on action on 20 May 1944 on a mission to Dieppe.
Just behind them is the basket ball hoop that's in several other photographs. This is probably just behind the fence running behind the grouping of huts for officers. The fields of the Brick House Farm were to the right of that grouping of huts. Walter E Foster collection
