In back row, 2nd from the right... There is an error in my dad's name. He likely used Edward (Ted) John his initials were EEJG (Edward Emanuel John Glynfryn) Norton. In the 1 special services Diary for June 6, he is listed as Sigmn Norton J. and he was wounded. I know he was wounded but I am not sure if it was that day.
I know he was with Corporal Jack Dymer, who is also in the Special Service (commando) brigade. There is a picture of Jack.

Commando Association Edinburgh Branch
Front Row 2nd from left is Magnus Flucker, RN. He is my grandfather. He joined the Commandos in 1940 and was an RN Petty Officer in charge of landing craft at Inveraray and Oban. I believe he was attached to 12 Commando at one point.

Identity of the three soldiers in photo
Hi
My Father, Gwynne Tucker, was a member of the Forward Observation Bombardment (FOB) during the 2nd World War. He was a Telegraphist and I believe he landed twice on D Day, once on Sword Beach and, I believe, once on Gold Beach. I realise this is a long shot but I'm wondering whether anyone can identify the above chaps please? Thanks in anticipation.
Lynne
