Almost certainly, No 33 is my grandfather Harold Cornford (Army No 114 114 21, DoB 11 Mar 1922, enlisted 19 Mar 1942).
His younger brother also identified him in the picture.In addition, there is a lot of similarity to pictures that we have of him.

It’s difficult to see but I believe 4 row 6th from the left is my dad. I have this exact picture from his personal items. James Roland Greaves. His friend John Maybury had died earlier in the year as the date on the back just says 1945.

Thomas Gerald Dennis
I'm 99% certain that my wife's uncle Lance Sergeant Thomas Gerald Dennis (3 Commando, 6 troop, 14241660) is stood on the far side of LCI 290 just to the left of the funnel of LCI289
He was the Commando mentioned on page 118 of John Durnford-Slater's book as winning the Gibraltar garrison heavyweight boxing tournament.
As a cross check I have a large scale picture of him that I can supply for a second opinion, just not sure who to send to. I'm new to the site.
He is also front row 5th in from left on this photo

Thomas Gerald Dennis
I'm 99% certain that No 1 is my wife's uncle Thomas Gerald Dennis. 14241660. He enlisted on 26.07.42 at Achnacarry. He was discharged with the rank of Lance Sergeant on 29.03.1945. I have many other pieces of info to pass on and will do so. He features on several other photos of 3 Commando 6 Troop on the site.

No 3 Commando 6 Troop
Hi, My wife's uncle Lance Sergeant Thomas Gerald Dennis is seated front row No 5 from Left. He is also visible in several other photos on the site and I have other info and photos to add. He was the Commando mentioned on page 118 of John Durnford-Slater's book as winning the Gibraltar garrison heavyweight boxing tournament. I believe he also appears on the photo on this site, with the three landing craft prior to D Day. He is stood on LCI 290 just to the left of the funnel of LCI289. This is my first post I hope I've done it correctly.

Stephane if you copy and paste the forum reference shown on the image you will see an entry "The LCI(s) is LCI(s) 509. The '290' number is the 'Landing Table Index Number' (LTIN) allocated to each landing craft in the invasion fleet." Please add any further detail to that forum message.

Thank you Margaret but Alfred Phillips was an NCO, and that man in the front row is an officer. He is now identified as Captain Alan Milne.

On the CVA Facebook page, Roger Phillips wrote, ' like my father Alfred Phillips 6th from left on front row'. Sorry if this is not accurate.

Two updates from the numbers on the numbered version made, however the man identified as Alfred Phillips (who was a Corporal) is in fact an officer, so the photo has not been updated with his name without further id.
