Info from John Anderson "I can confirm that my father John James Anderson is in the photo, I have a newspaper cutting of the same photo which I understand was taken in Falmouth, Dad is standing in front of his best pal John Skipper, My dad served alongside John Skipper in the Royal Berkshire's and they both volunteered for the Commando's in 1940 following Dunkirk, John lost a leg during one conflict, I am not sure if it was in Burma or Madagascar. My Dad was known as Andy and was born in Hackney East London on the 22.12.1919, he settled in South Wales in the mid 1970's he worked until he was 65 years old spending the last 10 years of his working life as a Railway Guard."
