Group from No. 3 Commando (with some just posted from No.4 Cdo)
Worthing circa June/July/August 1945. Photo courtesy of Sharon Keagy, niece of Pte lewis John Jones of 4 Cdo. 'D' troop who is pictured her 6th from the right on the top row
Notes
A copy of this photo was sent in by the family of Leslie Fosbery of No.4 Commando. He identified it as No.3 Commando. **It should be noted that in June 1945 whilst No.4 Cdo were at Recklinghausen in Germany, Major Jimmy Dunning (No.4 Cdo. and Instructor CBTC) states in his book "The Fighting Fourth": "At the end of June, 233 other ranks were posted to Nos. 3 and 6 Commandos back in England, who were earmarked for the war in the Far East, which had yet to be concluded".**
So there is a mix of men from both.
