Team, While searching through old photos belonging to my father, Gordon EDMISTON (8 Troop, 11 Scottish Commando), I found the following which you may wish to add to the archive. All the named persons already appear in the lists on the archive and all were members of 11 Commando:
1) John Clover ANDERSON - 1940 photo, rather better than the one currently used on his profile page: https://www.commandoveterans.org/JohnAnderson_11Commando
2) Robert MURRAY, Laurie LOW, Charles LOCK & Gordon EDMISTON at an 11 Commando reunion on the Isle of Arran in August 1986.
3) Attendees at a meal provided by Lieutenant Iain ROBINSON (8 Troop), during the same reunion on Isle of Arran in August 1986. Several faces are clear and potentially recognisable - but the names are unknown, except for my father (GE).
Hope this is of interest to someone :-)

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
