2nd row, 3rd from right
I can't be sure, but this chap has the likeness of my Grandfather - Harold Wilkinson.
He was originally from the 7th Manchesters and I have photos of him wearing the uniform of the 52nd Lowland (confirmed history with them).
The history we have suggests Commando involvement (either working alongside or within at Achnacarry, Walcheren/Flushing) but I have yet to prove this.

My grandfather
The gentleman 4th from the left in the back row is my grandfather John G May.
There is some confusion about what name he would have used as my mothers side of the family tended to use random names/nicknames. Officially he was John Graham De Wynne Montagu May.
