Update 28/10/10 by Pete R. This info from Neil Stuart &quot; My father Ted Stuart, who died in 2006, is in this photo (He is on the extreme right of the second row from the front). I have a copy of this photo and a list that someone has made of the names in the photo. The list is not in my father's writing and I suspect was sent to him by someone no more than twenty years ago. Some of the names seem to match the information you already have, others do not. I apologise if some of the names may be incorrect due to my inability to read all of the writing correctly. The list is from left to right, starting with the back row: <br />
<br />
BACK ROW: Addiscot / Boggis / Williams / Currie / Hay / Fred Thorley* / Mundin / John Skipper* / Hunter <br />
2ND FROM BACK: Martin / Rowe / Spragg / Little / Keller / Little / D.L. (probably unable to recall how to spell Dalziel *) / Murning / John James Anderson */ Mackie <br />
3RD FROM BACK: Pringle / Maxwell / Mutch / McIver/ Dinsdale / Linton / Adams / Brooks / Price <br />
<br />
3RD FROM FRONT: Ludlow* / Hicks*/ Bebbington / Stobie / Butler / Byrne / Patterson / Crutchley / Rollers / Underhill / Fleming / Ferguesen <br />
2ND FROM FRONT: McKerr / Fisher / Black / Chant* / Manford / Bell / Carr* / Crosby / Stuart* <br />
FRONT ROW: Jones / Bottomley / Gunn / Blair / Menzies / Rhind / Killin.. <br />
<br />
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of any of the names apart from my father.&quot;<br />

 <description><![CDATA[Photo updated 1/08/10 by Pete R. The following information comes from Andy Dalziel (jnr) &quot; My father, Andy Dalziel, you already have as well as my godfather, Paddy (Tommy) Ludlow. Third row down and six from the left, with the little moustache, is Des Crowden, Des was a Londoner who after the war worked for Paddy Ludlow in the TV and radio rental he set up, DER. My father died in 1974, Des in the early 1990s as I recall. The photo was taken in the gardens beside the Greenbank hotel where they mustered every morning. &quot;]]></description>

 <description><![CDATA[Info from John Anderson &quot;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.&quot;<br />
