I have more pictures that I can share. If you haven’t already you should read Sosabowski’s memoir “Freely I Served”. I visited Fife in 2015 and France this year 2017 retracing my father’s trajectory from 1939 onward.
Thanks for the link. I’d seen it pages of it before but not the whole booklet. I’ve read Freely I Serve, a good read.
Are they personal photos you have or ones of the whole brigade?
It’s been a while but here are a few more pics:
A pair of photos of Ruby Bay, then ~1941 and now, the madonna at Airvault France, some football at Kirkconnel in August of 1940, protest in London fow which I do not have a good date but would appreciate anyone’s input.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing them.
I’m guessing the protest would have been around the time of the Victory Celebrations in London on 8 June 1946. Poland were not allowed to join the march and many (including my father) were rightly furious.
