Hi,
I’ve seen several photos of Churchill inspecting troops in the desert
but not ever one where he was wearing a black coat. He was always wearing khaki
colored clothes.
Sorry this does not help much. Is your family certain it was in the
desert?
In any case, your grandfather was a hero!

Subject: [ChurchillChat] Churchill Photo...
Hi,
I was recommended to get in contact with you from David Freeman of
WinstonChurchill.org. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with
something...
I am trying to get hold of a specific photo of that was taken of Sir Winston
Churchill. The picture was (I presume taken, and) published in a newspaper in
August 1942. In the photo he was inspecting the South African troops in the
Libyan Desert. He has the classic pose in a long black coat and cigar, and is
about to shake the hand of one of the troops, who is my grandfather, Lionel
Rothbart.
My mother used to own this photo (possibly even the original) and it was always
very dear to her, but she has been distraught since it got lost. It would mean
a lot to me, and a tremendous amount to her if you could help me find a copy of
this picture.
Unfortunately, I don't remember which newspaper it was published in.
Let me know,
Thank you!
Myer
