Lieut Norman (Monty) Banks
This is my father after volunteering. We have some lovely family stories of them being “mobilised “ with bicycles. Having to make their own way up to Troon (he borrowed a car) He went on the Lofoten Islands raid . His escape map silk neckscarf which was given for the raid, if it went wrong...is now framed and displayed with his medals in the Fort William Commando museum. He then went back to The Tank Corp.

Unit query
Most, if not all, are not RM and several appear to be French? That coupled with the information in the CA newsletter on Scrivens being No 4 Commando, makes me question the unit designation of 4 SS Bde Signals. On checking the original post in the forum this is referred to as a troop in No 4 Commando. Title changed. Photo relocated.

Not 'pretty sure' now, that IS my dad (George Harris) - and I think that the man on the right (front row) is Tanky Bryne. I had the enormous pleasure of meeting Titch Garnett's daughter in Dieppe, 2014, and to realise that our dads were pals was amazing!

Who is This Commando?
Does anyone know who this gentleman is, my late father (Alex 'Sandy' McIntosh) had this photo in his war diary with other friends, but only one had a name on it, sadly not this one. My father was an A/C Amourer and served with 34 squadron in India/Burma during 1944/45. He may have got the photo whilst he was training in the UK somewhere, I have no idea.
Hope someone can put a name to this fine gentleman
Many Thanks
Val Freeman

Thanks Stephane. You are right of course.

Hello,
I don't think so this is Lt Mercer-Wilson.
He was killed in action on D.Day, and this photo could be taken in Belgium or Netherlands, seeing the name on the shop, and the denison wear by Colonel DAWSON.
