The lost wig of Masnieres

The story of the Flying Fox II, and her descent into the St Quenton Canal at Masnieres is well known ;as is the loss (and subsequent claim for a lost wig) by her commander 2Lt Edmunsdon.

Does anyone have a picture of Edmondson, either with or without out his wig :D

There was a thread on Edmundson a couple of years ago started by me. There was a general opinion that much, if not all of the wig story was apocryphal or had grown significantly in the telling. There doesn't seem to have been a 'War Office Issue' wig as some versions claim.
