2nd row, 3rd from right
I can't be sure, but this chap has the likeness of my Grandfather - Harold Wilkinson.
He was originally from the 7th Manchesters and I have photos of him wearing the uniform of the 52nd Lowland (confirmed history with them).
The history we have suggests Commando involvement (either working alongside or within at Achnacarry, Walcheren/Flushing) but I have yet to prove this.

My grandfather
The gentleman 4th from the left in the back row is my grandfather John G May.
There is some confusion about what name he would have used as my mothers side of the family tended to use random names/nicknames. Officially he was John Graham De Wynne Montagu May.

My late father
After searching many photographs of No 4 Commando, I have finally found a photograph of my late father Gnr John "Tommy" Rogan.
He is stood in row 2 (first standing row) immediately behind and between the two seated officers. He has a big smile and wearing the RA cap badge.
Now I know he was in E Troop, hopefully I'll be able to find more photographs of him.
He was seriously wounded at Ranville (Pegasus Bridge) on D Day, which ended his military career.
