In back row, 2nd from the right... There is an error in my dad's name. He likely used Edward (Ted) John his initials were EEJG (Edward Emanuel John Glynfryn) Norton. In the 1 special services Diary for June 6, he is listed as Sigmn Norton J. and he was wounded. I know he was wounded but I am not sure if it was that day.
I know he was with Corporal Jack Dymer, who is also in the Special Service (commando) brigade. There is a picture of Jack.

This photo of No.2 Cdo 4 troop was taken outside Lockerbie railway station (which is pretty much unchanged), presumably in July/August 1941 when 2 Commando were based at Dumfries.
