Thank you so much for the names for this photo - we've had this photo for years but my grandad couldn't remember where he was. He's Pte Peter Pocock, front row, 4th from left.
Thank you!

Unit query
Peachey and Smith were both attached from the South Lancs. Regt. There was a Pte. G.A. Stubbs in No 2 Commando who was also attached from the South Lancs Regt. The date and location suggest this was when they were in the Independent Company/1st Special Service Bn.
