Additional Info
44 Cdo crest on Stable Hill, built by RSM John Spencer in 1946. In 1970 40 Commando were considering refurbishing it as very little remained. However the advice was not to do so. [Source: Globe and Laurel October 1970.]

33 identified as Harold Cornford
Almost certainly, No 33 is my grandfather Harold Cornford (Army No 114 114 21, DoB 11 Mar 1922, enlisted 19 Mar 1942).
His younger brother also identified him in the picture.In addition, there is a lot of similarity to pictures that we have of him.
