I can identify the lance corporal crouching bottom left in Pete Rogers' photo of the 4th Independent Company as my grandfather, John Mason, from Bebbington, Cheshire. He was near Private Robert George Martin when he died on board HMS Vindictive, and he told me the account of Private Martin's death when I was a young boy. John Mason was in the Liverpool Scottish when he volunteered for Norway. Before the war he had been in the King's Hussars, and after Operation Scissorforce he went on to serve with the Seaforth Highlanders at El Alamein and in Italy.
