Troop Sergeant Major
The Troop Sergeant Major on the front seated row sitting to the right of Capt Barker is my paternal Grandfather, Alan Michell (not Mitchell). He in 1983 died shortly before I was born. We have a copy of this same photo in the limited effects of his from the war, plus some others from 46 Royal Marine Commando which I will try to add.
Major EGM Michell, Duke of Lancaster's Regiment
