Update 11/5/12 by Pete R. This photo was initially entered as No.2 Commandos training Portmadoc Wales which I have amended as there are 3 men wearing Berets, two of whom appear to have regimental badges on their Beret rather than the 2 Cdo dagger badge. Assuming it is the Green Beret that they are wearing, this was only introduced at the end of 1942 and No.2 Commando sailed for Gibraltar c.March 1943 so it had to have been taken in that period.
