Three commanders of Biafra’s mercenary-led 4th Cdo Div photographed outside Federal-held Onitsha shortly before their doomed attacks on 12-13 November 1968. (Left) Marc Goosens, who would be killed later that day leading a near-suicidal attack by his Abaliki Strike Force. (Centre, in helmet and goggles) ‘Taffy’ Williams, commander of the Guards unit and now the whole formation. (Right, sucking a straw) Armand Ianarelli, commanding the Ahoada Strike Force. Both Williams and Ianarelli were to continue their service with the Biafrans until the following year, but only in a training role. (Private collection)
