Does anyone know who this gentleman is, my late father (Alex 'Sandy' McIntosh) had this photo in his war diary with other friends, but only one had a name on it, sadly not this one. My father was an A/C Amourer and served with 34 squadron in India/Burma during 1944/45. He may have got the photo whilst he was training in the UK somewhere, I have no idea.
Hope someone can put a name to this fine gentleman
Many Thanks
Val Freeman

Fred Carrington mentions how he had left the billet for a church parade when the air raid occurred killing 3 (or 4) of those left inside.

Frank Letts 2 Cdo was from Wollaston in Northamptonshire as was Fred Carrington 43 Cdo and knew each other well. Both served on Vis at the same time (even visiting the same billet) though neither knew the other was there until meeting at home whilst on leave in England.

On the CVA Facebook page, Roger Phillips wrote, ' like my father Alfred Phillips 6th from left on front row'. Sorry if this is not accurate.

Two updates from the numbers on the numbered version made, however the man identified as Alfred Phillips (who was a Corporal) is in fact an officer, so the photo has not been updated with his name without further id.
