Hi Kevin, great spot! Yes that's Tom Trevor - you can see his Welch Regt cap badge - and, of course, his distinctive moustache...

Just come across this thread again and enjoying reading it once more, thanks.

There is a sketch of Lt.Col Tom Trevor and the Rangers at Pointe Du Hoc in one of the Osprey series of books on certain units.

My grandfather served under TT, with No.2 Independent Company in Norway and No.1 Army Commando, was there at North African Landings during Operation Torch too, the KT for the rest of the war.

Got some info too about what landing craft he was on during #DDay as well, will have a look for it to post up.
