This photo was originally marked as No.1 Commando 4 Troop, Raiding Party Lofoten Raid (No.1 Cdo. did not take part in this raid) and it is now established as being No.3 Commando 4 Troop. Two Commandos from No.1 were later identified by nephews as Jim Hirst (No.1 Cdo), back row, 3rd from left. and John Abrams (No.1 Cdo) back row 1st left. However as can be seen in the details above, different identifications of No.3 Cdos. are now made.
