Photo courtesy of Sue Capes who believes her Uncle Matt Wade is 3rd row from front 10th man from the left. Gnr. Matthew Wade served in No.1 Commando from May 1943 until December 1945. There is a good picture of Matt in our No.1 Cdo Veterans album

Update by Pete R.: I believe TSM John Joseph Downey MM is front row (excluding the man standing) 8th man seated from the left.
Additionally the building looks like one in photos we have when No.1 Cdo were in Ahmednager India
