No.3 Commando Officers
There is a similar photo in the gallery with the same men on it. The only difference is that the man on the left has removed his helmet and that *George Herbert* is looking to his left. The caption with the photo says: Some officers of 3 Commando, before Normandy, at the Limehouse street-fighting training area. From left to right: Ponsford; Westley; Williams; Lewis; Bartholomew; Pollock; Pritchard; Collins; Wardle; *Herbert* (holding rifle); Cowieson; Peter Young; Johnston; Nixon; Woyervodsky; Ned Moore (MO); *Butler*; *Alderson* (holding rifle); Pollard. (not in the photograph: Pooley, Hopson, Reynolds, Martin, Mount, Wills). "
