Hopefully this might provide a clue to where some of the other photographs were taken.

Row 3 No 7 Gerald Bunting (1929-2013)
I have a high resolution scan of this image.
I never knew where it was taken till seeing this picture. We only learned a little more of my father's time in the marines after my mothers death.
I have numerous other picture of him with "mates", probably some on here

Pre Commando photo
Not all those named here woll have gone onto serve in the Commandos. At this period there was still a choice between Commando service and Ship service.
