My father John Arthur Morgan is number 23. I think John Poole ( known as Jack) is number 45 and Alfred Phillips is number 6.

Identification of Alfred Phillips
Two updates made however the man identified at 6 as Alfred Phillips who was a Corporal is in fact an officer, so the photo has not been updated with his name.
