I have been contacted by Rosalind Banfield, the niece of Frederick Llewellyn, KSLI and No.1 Commando.
Fred was KIA on Motor Launch ML306 at St. Nazaire, on 28th March 1942, and is buried at Escoublac La Baule Cemetery, St. Nazaire, France.
Rosalind has kindly given her permission for this photo of Fred to be uploaded into the No.1 Cdo Album in the Gallery.

Coincidentally I also received a slightly better version of this photo from James Dorrian, St Nazaire Society Historian and author of the excellent book about the raid, Storming St. Nazaire.
It is now in the gallery and I have added it to our Roll of Honour entry: http://www.commandoveterans.org/FredLlewellyn1Commando
