R.N. B.S.S. 9 October 1944

I have a photo of my fathers, taken in October of 1944. It is of the Royal Naval Beach Signal Section 9. Most of the men signed the reverse side of the photograph. Signed are: J. McGann, Douglas Willie, Morris Rowell, David MacKenzie, R. Eric Dove, D. Draffen, J. Holland, Sandy Jackson, James Whyte, Bill Quinn, Hank Raynor, R. K. Smith, H. M. Wolton, John Robert Carr, George German, A. Adkins, John J. Gascoiguea Mr. Richmond, a Mr. Swailes, W. Burke, K. John Thom, a Mr. Treson, a Mr. Woodcock, Tiny Pitts, a Mr. Barker, W. Gillings, James Ashton, H. Gibson, Jack Ainsworth, Donald E. Akroyd, G. Johnson, and of course, George H. Cruickshanks.

Well that's a start! Given the date we'd be very interested to see it, particularly as dad was so badly injured on D-Day. We'd always assumed his injuries meant he was discharged soon after.
