Thanks Neil
Thanks for your comments Neil. We have quite a few other photos of John Stewart in the No.2 Commando gallery. He was in the same troop as my father.

John Stewart
John Stewart (24) was my dad's cousin (his dad's sister's son). Dad often talked about him and how he got killed in Italy. He used to tell me that John's dad was Canadian. I am waiting for the 1921 census to come out to find out if that was so. Great site and a really fitting tribute to those who served to preserve our freedom.

The man on the right is my father, H W Pratt (EX3417)
I have a copy of this photograph. I don't know who took it, but my dad, who was in F Troop, 45 Commando, told me that it was taken just after he had returned from a patrol, which was why he was wearing plimsolls so he could make less noise!
