Jean-Pierre Helias Identifies Noel Naud " No 2 is second maitre (Sgt) Noel Naud (French Cdos badge N°70) .This photograph is likely to have been taken in Beaconsfield Hospital (Free-French navy convalescence hospital) in September 1944. Noel Naud did not land in Normandy because he was injured on the 21 March 1944 during a climbing exercise, which explains why he was convalescing. He participated in the Flushing landing with 5 troop (N° 4 Cdo) on the 1st November 1944.
