Number 32 is my granddad Jack Bromley (lance corporal at the time of this photo I think). He was Stoke born and bred - worked in the potteries and supported Stoke City. This photo must have been taken just before his 23rd birthday, which was the 5th of June. When I was young, I remember him showing me this exact photograph and pointing out the many who had died during the invasion.
He died peacefully in 2004 at the age of 83.

Trooper Arthur Evans
I am the nephew of Trooper Evans and would be very interested in knowing how this image came to be posted in his memory.
I have been searching for information on him and this photo has been a huge help to me. Thank you.

very interesting - I think Hylton should be Hilton if this was the section that landed at Yellow Beach One. My father Roger Hilton was captured there as were many others and i would love to read any accounts of that event. Thank you
