Above: The "Four Musketeers" and "Fifth Beatle" Clifford in Oran, Algeria. January 1929. There has been some speculation by members of the Brotherhood and others that the stains on the reverse of this photograph may be blood. This is in all likelihood not the case since by this time Clifford's battalion had been withdrawn form frontier duty. Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer testing done on these stains by the Brotherhood show them to be from the strong Turkish style coffee popularly served in the sidewalk cafes of Oran - many of which still line the Rue d'Arzew to this day. |
