I was able to find his full name and date of birth.

Jean Robert Steinmetzer
March 1, 1924

And the last one.

Here are the other pictures that couldn't fit in my first post.

Hi, pictured on the top left in the first picture is my grandfather Jean Steinmetzer with two friends.

I don't have any info on his involvement in the military but my father thinks he was in the British military during WW2 and I recall him saying he was there at Normandy in 1944...but he never talked about it.

Someone from another forum pointed that he and his mates could be from a royal marine commando or another commando from their uniforms. Can anyone help? I know I can request his official records but I just started my research and I currently enjoy this personal mission! :-)

I also found this panoramic picture (numbered) on another forum and could find similarities in facial features between #1 and the man right next to my grandpa in the first picture. Am I crazy?
