Harold A. Marshall was a Canadian scout and sniper sergeant who served in the Second World War with the
Calgary Highlanders' Scout and Sniper Platoon.
The well-known photograph shown here was taken by Army photographer Ken Bell of the Canadian Army Film and Photo Unit near
Fort Brasschaat in Belgium in September 1944. He is carrying a
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk 1 (T) and wears a modified version of
the Denison smock. Other equipment includes a
No. 36M grenade and a camouflage face veil worn as a head covering. The handle of a
Kukri can be seen above his belt at his left side.
