The picture was taken when he was a Lt-Colonel (1967) but before promotion to full Colonel (1971). He is shown wearing his medals when commanding the Muscat Regiment in 1967-69. Decorations include War Medal, General Service Medals for Malaya, South (sic) Arabia, Coronation Medal and Sultan's Bravery Medal. From memory, it was taken in 1970.
