I think the man in the rear of this picture is my grandfather - Captain J.D. Bowyer. He was an instructor at Achnacarry in 1942/43. He was later posted to 5 Commando and served in Burma. My grandmother owned a copy of the same photograph and always claimed that this was him in the picture.
If anyone can confirm this or has any memories of him I would love to hear from you.
