I think my father maybe in this photo, the position im looking at is, 3rd row from the front, standing 5th from the left, my fathers name is Warwick (wally) Steddy.
All I know is he was in No.6 commando 5 troop, heavy weapons.
I would be most grateful if anyone could give me a positive id or supply a list of troops in the photo.
Many thanks.

Update from Brian Wraith-Mottier "In the web-site photo gallery of N°6 Commando there is a panorama from July 1943. I have seen an original of this photo inside the farm house used by N°6 at Amfreville, France. Underneath the photo is a typed list of all the names of the Commandos in that photo. I presume that sometime in the past the photo was presented to the SAULNIER family by N°6 Commando veterans. My father is shown in that photo and his position on the list of names is correct ie second row extreme LH side "Pte Wraith"
I have no reason to doubt that other Commandos are correctly named. The photo was taken through the glass frame so there is alot of reflection included, but the names can be understood."
