This photo is similar to another one taken by Tom Italiaander in Feb-Mar 1944 at the back of what seems to be one of the Dutch Troop HQs in Eastbourne.

Ranks and link added. Jack Bakker also adds "It is Sgt R.B. Visser. The R stand for Rokus, his first name. As far as I know the photo was taken in Eastbourne and I think in 1945. He was a Lt then. He later went to the former Dutch East Indies to become a member of the Dutch Special Force Regiment there. After Indonesia got its independence he became the trainer and first commander of the Indonesian Commandos and Paras."
