Black Watch veteran Peter Watson returned to Egypt's Western Desert to pay his respects at the grave of a fellow fighter, as part of efforts to mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of El Alamein.
He is pictured at the resting place of comrade George Morrison, who died by his side aged 22 in the Allied victory.
Mr Watson, 93, said: "He was a great lad, a mate. It affects me now. It didn't affect me so much then. Then, you just pressed on."
