Commando names to photos

Kelvin asks

My late father-in-law law, Reginald Gapper, was in No3 Commando. In clearing out old papers we found a photo of a reunion of old members. We think it was taken at the Royal Marines HQ in Bristol, where annual reunions were held. He is 3rd from left on back row. Can anyone assist in uploading as I would like to identify the others.

Items belonging to Reginald Frank Gapper No.3 Commando.

Please be aware if this was a local Commando Association branch meeting the men are likely to be from different commando units

The man to Reginald's left is Bill Moore, the man with his eyes closed in the blazer with the Commando Association badge is Bill Salisbury and kneeling on the right of the Commando Battle Honours flag is Conrad Vaughan.

The three men I named all were all from Bristol. All the men present have a 3 Commando connection that I recognise from other reunion photographs.

Hopefully I can put other names to faces?

Can your wife remember any of the names of Reginald's Commando comrades?

Thanks for names for those in photo. Unfortunately the photo was found after Reg passed away, hence posting on forum.
