SGT Mercer is my Great Grandfather and my Father always tells me amazing stories about him. I was curious and decided to come onto this website to try and find some pictures of him as unfortunately we do not have any. I am so happy that I have finally found one and I am so thankful to the person who uploaded this. Please, if anybody knows of any other pictures of him anywhere could they comment back to me to let me know. Charisse.

My Father Sgt John (Jack) Thomas no.391
I believe this is my father John Thomas 1911-1991,born and raised in Wales and originally a member of the Welch Regiment. Is there anyone who could verify this for me? I know he was in 1 Troop No.1 Commando and many of the names in the photograph are familiar to me from my conversations with him. Any comments please?

Possible id of the Commando on the left
Will Durrant believes that the Commando on the left may possibly be Jock Dale. A picture of Jock can be found here:
