Description

English and Scottish troops disembarking from a landing craft assault, more precisely LCA 164, in Tamatave harbour, Madagascar. Note the Scottish bagpiper in the center right. Operation Ironclad was the code name for these landings, with a subsequent campaign to secure Madagascar in front of Vichy France, which received naval support from Japan.
