I have been contacted by John Mewett, who thinks that he may be able to identify the man standing next to my father. He has stated that he has quite a strong resemblence to the man standing at the extreme left of his Cocanada 2 group photo, if this is the case then the man in my photo is called Simmonds. I must admit that the two men are quite similar to eachother.

Hi, My father was Captain J.C. Lessing (Chris) seated above Jones with the mascot. Is there anyone who knew him ? He was a South African seconded to the R.M. Commandos in 1944.
I would love to hear from anyone who knew him.

My grandfather is pictured directly to the left of the pine tree. Does anyone remember him? I am pleased to say he is alive and well but doesn't talk much about the war or his experiences, which I believe (as I am sure most of them were) quite horrific.

I was so excited to see the photo of No 5 Cdo 1946 and my father in the photo. Arthur Baseley, centre row far left. I can't wait to share this with him. Thank you
