Here is a picture courtesy of John Robertson from the Special Forces Roll of Honour site. The picture on John's site is titled " 1 Commando Group" and goes onto say " orderly room staff,India 1944 seated in centre is O.R.S.M.Warrant Officer II Henry Brown former Secretary of the Commando Association"

Are they all from No.1 or 1st Commando Brigade ??
