The man tagged as Lattimer - bottom row far right - is my dad, but his name is Eustace John Smith. However, as a child he was known as Eustace John Dent.
The man in the black vest with the girl on his lap with ribbons in her hair is his stepfather, Mr. L. Dent, grandfather, known to all as Pop.
The girl on his lap would either be my fathers sister Queenie Dent (later Clark, the eldest and most probable) or Daphne (later Andrews, then Carter,the youngest).

No. 55 is my father, John Ellis Hawksworth, Irish Guards s/n 2722253. He is mentioned several times (although our surname is constantly mis-spelled) in the No.3 Commando war diaries after D-day (http://www.pegasusarchive.org/normandy/war_3cdo2.htm) until he was wounded in action on 18/08/1944.

Just to be clear this photo is of E troop as the similarity to the previous picture detailed as
"Some of E Troop 43 RM Commando
On the South bank of River Reno, Commachio 1945. Photo courtesy of Jeff Gordon, son of Sgt. Jack Gordon 43 RM Cdo" shows, since the camp set up, tools ie pick axe lying upright on the floor and group of five men are all consistent in each photo.
