The man sitting front row cross legged to the right of the group (left as you look at the pic) is LCpl Chas J Coughlan. His role in HQ Trp was as a signaller. He enlisted in the 70th(Young Soldiers)Bn London Irish Rifles (LIR). He wore the LIR Officers and WOs cap badge on his Commando beret as seen in the picture (as he thought it looked better!) as well as LIR black buttons and Royal Ulster Rifles green on black chevrons (the LIR were part of the RUR). He survived D-Day and fought through France, Belgium, Netherlands and into Germany and died in 2010. Chas was a personal friend of mine and a true LIR Commando to the end.

My uncle, Peter Broadman, was named in Peter's honour.
I'd add a photo of my uncle at Peter's grave but can't figure out how to attach a photo to comments.
