I know exactly where this was taken: it is along the narrow street of Eaat Cliff by Dover Eastern Docks. The other photo shows the front of the same hotel on Marine Parade.[img][/img]

Jack Ashman
Jack was No.1 Diamond and, as you point out, Pete, the King's Badge recipient of 733 Squad. He also received the Commando Medal.I was a member of 733 and am still in touch with Jack. He became Chief Constable of Northumbria (I think) police, after having to leave the Corps prematurely due to hearing loss - a PWs common problem in those days before decent ear defenders. The badge on the left arm of the L/Cpl fourth from the left is commonly referred to as a PW3 qualification. A former colleague of mine in 45 Recce had that SQ and told me that it was a sniper course downgraded qualification - failure on some part of the course but fairly minimal. The sniper badge has crossed rifles, but closer together, with the letter "S" above.I don't recognise Jack in that picture.

Hi
researching the war career of Michael Heathcote who was a member of 3 (x) troop, 10 Cdo. In his record it states he was at CBTC April 1945. Id like to know if he is on this photograph if there is such a record? many thanks in advance
ps he is recorded as a member in CVA. He died in March 1978 of cancer.
