Bill Brown
Hi Linda...he is identified in a series of photos on our site. If you do a search on the gallery search facility on Bill Brown you will find them. If you send me a photo of your father from that time for comparison and evidence of his Commando Service I will have a look. My email is in the Contact Us section on the Home Page

Correct identification
Is the commando identified as Bill Brown a definite identification ? I ask because I think the "unknown" standing centrally is my father Bill Brown, who I believe served with Nobby Clarke.

Photo updated
Jack Bakker informs us that "this photo was taken in the harbour of the small town called Willemstad, which is on a big waterway called the Hollandsche Diep. Willemstad in not very far from where I live (Roosendaal). The buildings in the background of the photo are still there."

Third row from the bottom, and ninth from the left is my father, Harry Alexander Curtis - so good to see him! Thank you.

My grandfather, Joe Spicer, bottom row, second from the right. We attended the 70th anniversary commemoration at flushing with him on 1 Nov this year! He has a very similar picture to this one . A copy of it is in the fighting forth book.
