This guy represents the 22 SAS Regt. in Oman 1959, deployed at the request of Sultan Said Bin Taimur to fight against rebel forces attempting to overthrow Government and establish its own religious authority. He is armed with an L4A4 Light Machine Gun and is wearing a Dennison smock for protection against the cold as he climbs the mountainous plateau of the Jebel Akhdar where the rebel base is located. He drank entirely too much of that really thick and strong Arab coffee and that explains the look on his face.
