Good morning
Can anyone help me to identify a member of no 2 commando 6 troop called Syd?
Attached is a picture of him taken in Italy January 1944.
Cheers
JB

I've got several photos of my dad from 1940 to 1946.
He's a fresh-faced lad in the first one but, in later War years, he's a hardened veteran.
I was being overly-cautious with my question mark in the other post ... it's him.

Hi Eileen,
The picture on the CVA link is also interesting as Syd wears a black backed para wing which seems what no 2 commando did instead of the khaki backing. His face tells for sure! Cheers JB

Hi JB and Eileen
I must say my initial thought was also of Sid Lamkin who was in 6 troop, and later the HWT, and is in the troop photo just posted which is in the gallery with all the names. Here is the link to the gallery image:
