Spotted this group photo of D Troop, 45 Royal Marine Commando over on the WW2Talk forum.
The poster over there has unfortunately blurred his scan of the actual photograph, but the main interest is probably in the list of names - helpful for anyone working on a nominal roll for this unit.
The photo (apologies - I do not know how to resize an embedded image!) ...
Also October 1945 is outside 'wartime', but I have posted here as many of the men would certainly have seen active service.
The full topic ...

If anyone has information on Marine William EDDY, I'm sure the poster over there would appreciate it.
Contacting the OP over on the WW2Talk forum might elicit a less blurred scan of the image :D .

That's much better - thanks Craig!
Coupled with the list of names makes this a really useful research document.
