Hello. On the third row (16. L/Cpl E. Smith) is actually Cpl William Francis Smith (PO/x107569), my grandfather.
He died in Southampton in 2008, but was fortunate enough to be reunited with Harry Sale in 2002 after I found Harry through a guy called Frank Darbyshire on a lost-comms website. He'd missed out on all the reunions for the past 58 years! He managed to attend one of the 46RM Commandos ceremonies in Rots during the mid-2000s, however.

Many photos of this period were taken by Zvi Zwet who was formerly in 51 ME Cdo and then No.2 Cdo. Zvi Zwet became No.2's semi official photographer, taking a number of very spectacular photos, until unfortunately losing both his legs on a Teller mine in April 1945 during the fighting at Lake Comacchio. There are photos of Zvi at reunions in our gallery.
